Hi

Yes, I can do that and have done it on occasion (in fact I have a built in method to do this) but clients prefer just to use their on eMail client and address book. In this case they want to use their own eMail client.

Regards,
Simon

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.
