I am using VFP 6.0 to activate OUTLOOK to do my automatic email processing. You can find help on the subject in the outlook help files. Look under advanced customization, using visual basic with outlook. The VB code is translateable to VFP code. You will need to look up the constants required to work with outlook. I only used the ones that I needed and put them in my fox code directly. These constants are in microsoft outlook visualbasic reference, miscelanious topics, ms outlook constants.
