Hi

The problem is not sending eMail. The problem is that I must use the clients eMail program so they can address the message to appropriate person.

I have no problems sending eMail via an SMTP server if I already know the destination address. In the above case the destination can be anyone the user decides needs to see a copy of a report.

Thanks
Simon
