I've looked that the Active X Control that >>comes with Visual Foxpro (The MAPI Message Control I believe) but >>that seems to be quite a bear to figure out... >> >>Thanx, >>Bob :-) > >I do emailing within my VFP Internet app and the procedure I take is to let the VFP app register the mail in a table. The table is processed twice an hour to send mail to the destination. I use the mapi object, we have outlook with an exchange server and the mapi object has worked quite well. I learned to use it based on the help files installed by office 97 that gives code/examples of the mapi object using visual basic. Once I got the syntax down the application runs with very little problems. If you would like I could email you the code snippet for how I accompished this task.
