In the sendmail method try to replace the last

RETURN 0
* with 
RETURN This.nErrors

Or check o.geterrorcount() in addition to return value.

>I have tried the class and it appears to be working - i.e. the sendmail method returns 0 indicating no errors. Problem is, also no email. Stepping through the method code I find everything is exactly as expected until stepping into the .Send(llShowOutlook). There I find I'm in the error routine and the error is the 1429 OLE error. Oddly, the .send(llShowOutlook) doesn't effect the return value so the method leaves returning 0
