>There is email sending FORM. That works fine. But I want to send email conditionaly for example if I send email on 18/02/2005 the software or computer should remember the month and year. I want to send email only once a month. Next time, in the same month and year, the mail should not send. I mean PRIMARY key to date and year.

A DBF is the best place to store things, if you use VFP.
Other alternatives include:
A text file.
Any file; using the filename to store information.
A binary file - you can encode the information, so that it uses up less space, or is more difficult to decipher.
The Windows Registry.
But perhaps, you should think first, WHY you don't want to use a DBF.
