The password has to either be hard coded, stored in a table, or use the Notes Object so that it prompts the user.

You can use the winsock.ocx to send SMTP e-mail. I just converted a VB example to VFP to auto send e-mail using SMTP. It seems to work just fine. Or you can buy wwIPStuff from www.west-wind.com that has a SMTP e-mail and I think there are someother ones out there also.
