Hi Wayne,

I was looking for info on how to send a file via email using MAPI in VFP 5.0 and I came across this thread. I was able to get Outlook to open using the code below, but I get errors from the ole if I try to use .SEND(0) instead of .SEND(1). (I want to be able to specify in my program the recipient etc. I did set a .RecipAddress value, but nothing else).

Also, even when I used .SEND(0), after I clicked on send in Outlook, I again got an OLE error message, even though the email went through and I received the file and message fine.

Any ideas? Where is some good documentation on MAPI anyway? -Rick

>If you do the .SEND with 0 instead of 1, it will send the message without prompting you (You have to programatically add the TO: and CC:, etc's to the message). I have also seen that it takes a few seconds for MAPI to actually send the message. It sits in your OutBox until the program does it's next send.
