Messages should remain in the DRAFTS folder. Messages are not SENT from the DRAFTS folder. You should place messages in the OUTBOX. When you click on `SEND/RECEIVE` messages from the OUTBOX are sent to their appropriate destinations.

First get OUTLOOK2002 working with messages in your OUTBOX being sent via the manual 'send/receive' command button. Then, try doing it with VFP Code. But, place the email messages in the OUTBOX.

Furthermore, from your description of your problem you do not need Outlook2002 to perform this task. Why not just use MAPI, that is the MSMAPI32.OCX control? The sample code provided with VFP 6,7, or 8 shows you how to send email.
