Dick,
I understand that Outlook Express and Outlook behave differently. I successfully use Outlook and R:Mail 2.6, soon to try 3.0. I would look at the Outlook Express settings for send/receive, like maybe automatically send/receive when connected or some other setting which is preventing OE from acting while R:BASE is running. Is OE running during this process or is the "If you click on outlook express, prior to closing R:Base." mean that you are launching OE?

I have (forever) been trying to automate order acknowledgement and invoice emails. Using Razzak's fine adivse from below, I am finally getting it to work... almost. All works fine till the e-mail goes into the Outlook Express outbox, where it seems to hang up. You can continue to run R:base with no problem, but when you exit, you get the "Rbase has encountered a problem and needs to close" box. If you click on outlook express, prior to closing R:Base, you get the following error. "Access violation address 60349F17 Read of address 60349F17" Only after you close R:base, does the e-mail finally leave the Outlook Express OutBox Its like its not getting a 'Get it out of here now' message. Ideas are more than welcome. Running 7.5.25.30811 in a custom app generated with application express. Dick Fey Carpet Broker Inc.
