>Can I have a hyperlink in my VFP form to call the default email program and open a new email with the to address filled in (with my specified email address)?

It's an incredibly simple thing to do actually. Do a search in VFP help on 'MAPI'. The first item I get is on a 'Send Mail Sample'. Make note of the 2 OLE objects you need.

Basically, you drop these 2 ole objects on a form - change a few properties (provide as much or as little data as you want to) - and it calls up the default MAPI mail client with your new message waiting to complete.

The buttons are invisible to the user and I don't think you need to actually set anything on them initially. A click event on an 'Email' button on one of my forms has this:

cTo = "userid@somewhere.com"
cSubject = "whatever"
cMessage = "Who cares"
With This.Parent.OLEMAPIMsg
.MsgIndex=-1
.RecipDisplayName=cTo
.MsgSubject=cSubject
.MsgNoteText=cMessage
.SessionID=This.parent.olemapisession.sessionid
.Send
Endwith

Hope this helps!
