Simon,

I don´t understand this. You could create a form where the user can enter the missing data (including to, cc and bcc fields) and still use cdo to send the message. The reason I do this because I can never tell what email client will be used: outlook, outlook express, notes etc. Cdo talks to the smtp server and does not look for any installed client email programs. the cdo message is therefor consistent making programming a lot easier.

>>Simon,
>>can´t you use ´cdo´ to send messages. It is already present on W2K and XP machine. All you need is a smtp server on you network.
>>CDO does not need any further email clients.
