That is off the topic. His original question was how to send e-mail automatically through Outlook from his application. Outlook, configured to send e-mail, was part of the original spec. Further, when you write a MAPI program, it uses the MAPI API to connect to the MAPI service. I don't believe it uses any automation (COM or OLE) to cause Outlook to send the e-mail. If your program creates its own MAPI session, Outlook does not even need to be running. Outlook itself is a MAPI application and calls the MAPI API to send and receive e-mail. In fact, many e-mail clients on the market, like Lotus Notes, claim to be MAPI compliant and a MAPI program should work with any MAPI compliant client. Glenn Lawler ------------------------ Yahoo!
