Need to use outlook express from Access

[DaveFitton]

Outlook express does not appear to have a library of its own and will not work when using Outlook 98 library (MSOUTL8.olb). Is it possible to send messages through Outlook Express from Access (using a message and attached file)?

Yes, if you use mapi it will send to the user's client. Peter Meachem

I just looked at that link. It didn't seem terribly helpful to me. I don't know how it is handled in the Access help file, but in the VB one there are some examples to follow. It's quite easy really. Peter Meachem
