Thanks for the links.   On quick glance, they look promising.

  I found this thread on a similar issue.

  This one seem promising too

  I wonder if Vista is trying to not allow a possible outgoing unwanted
  mail by what it thinks is a bug or virus or trojan or something?  I've
  not ever tried to send mail from an access ap so I can't be of much
  help. I know lots of other folks have so I'm surprised nobody has
  replied on this yet. Not many developers are using Vista I guess.

  Good luck figuring it out Carolyn.
