I have something I can send to you... but blat is not a DLL but a self
contained SMTP application.  You do NOT need to install it in order to
get it to work, it just makes life easier :)

I will wrap up a sample tomorrow.. right now it's still wrapped up in
our application :)

Hi everybody.

As I am having a couple of issues with Outlook which I normally use for
sending email from my mdb's, I want to try Blat which so many of you
have recommended.

I am lost re: the installation and use of it.

I have read the readme which assumes a bit more knowledge than I have. I
have copied blat.exe to c:\winnt\system32 and the next instruction is :

"Run "Blat -install yourhost.site.blah.blah youruserid at site.blah.blah"
which I am battling with.

What is: 'yourhost', 'site', blah blah? 
And how does this work with client installs?
(In today's case I want to send email through Outlook Express). 

BTW, does anyone have a sample mdb whichuses Blat? Or does anyone have
something else they can recommend?

TIA
Kath
