>How I can specify that the e-mail message content is HTML???

Using Outlook Express as the MAPI Server, I don't think it can be done. If you use Eudora as the MAPI Server, pretty sure all you've got to do is format the message in HTML and it will take care of it for you.

You can ditch MAPI altogether. One option is using 3rd party controls such as Mail/X control at www.mabry.com, or wwIPStuff at www.west-wind.com. wwIPstuff has VFP examples...

Or, you *might* be able to send HTML email with the free blat.dll (do a google search and you'll find it).
