1) You can send to more than one person by using a comma separated list per the SMTP syntax.
so SendEmail "[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]", "BWS Test email", "This is a test SMTP email from BWS " & Now Or, you can define a string variable for clarity DistributionList = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" & ", " & "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" & ", " & "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" SendEmail DistributionList, "BWS Test email", "This is a test SMTP email from BWS " & Now 2) They do connect to Microsoft's schema resource and utilize the CDO templates.

Mark, I gave it a try and it works. I have a couple of questions though. (1) How do I send to more than one e-mail recipient? (2) What do the .Item("http://...) commands do? Do these commands connect to Microsoft's web site? Thanks for your help.

Hello. Has anyone tried to send e-mails from their BWS script using SMTP? I will not have an e-mail client (MS Outlook, GroupWise, etc.) loaded on the PC that will be running my BWS script, but it can access an external SMTP server. Thanks.
