Automatic email

[SBTBILL]

I'm wondering if any one knows how to send an automatic email through outlook. I can my VFP program to write the email but outlook always wants me to confirm that I really want to send it. What I need is something that will just send it and move on.

What you're refering to is a security feature in Outlook, which is giving you the confirmation box. You can disable it with the OutlookSecurity.oft template. Otherwise from a programming perspective, I would use a method to send automatic emails, what are you using now in your VFP app?

SBTBILL,
how about blat?
it's been years since i worked with vfp (and i'm guessing your using the sbt accounting package - used that also).
if i remember correct it should be no problem to call blat with a shell command and let blat do the sending.
if you want i can post some vba code. you could then translate into vfp.
regards,
longhair

typo: (I would use a *different method)

They really need to add an edit function to the forums...
