[AccessD] DoCmd.SendObject hangs MS Access app on a PC without Outlook Express or Outlook...

Nope. The Bat is configured to support MAPI and installs its own
mapi32.dll to do so. The original (if any) is renamed to
mapi32bak.dll.
It looks, however, like mapi32.dll is installed at least with
Windows 2000; I have a renamed version 1.0.2536.0 in my system32
folder.
