You could consider buying some ActiveX controls that do the job for you.
I bought several years ago the ip works kit for VB/VBA.
They have SMTP/MIME conrols etc...
Using an SMTP server directly does mean more work. For example if you
would need to add attachements then you need to mime this. Further more
you can run into firewall problems at customer site..

Onderwerp: [AccessD] Route email to SMTP Server from Access

Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I have a customer I am getting started with.  To send email and get
around the Outlook security patch, I suggested either using Redemption
or using the Outlook Security Administrator's package.  I then received
the suggestion to try sending email straight to the SMTP server,
bypassing the security problem.  

What seems to be required to do this is to either use CDO, of which
there are different versions (CDO, CDONTS, and CDOSYS), or a 3rd party
product.
Is this really correct or is there another way?  Perhaps a Windows API
that can be used for the same purpose?

I did do a search on the archives for SMTP, but because many people's
emails have SMTP in the email header, the search was not useful.

Anyone have an early Christmas present they can give me?

Thanks!
