>I can not give you any specific help on this topic, I just want to warn you up front that you will have to create two completely different solutions, one for Outlook, and one for Outlook Express. Except for the vendor, the name and a few functions, Outlook and Outlook Express are two completely different programs which practically nothing in common. Outlook can be automated via createobject("outlook.application"), Outlook Express can NOT.

Yes I know they are two different products. Thanks.
