You could try blat from a command line and shell http://www.blat.net/ I use this one has certain restictions see comments 'The example code is using CDOSYS (CDO for Windows 2000 or XP). 'I dont think I would want to go back to CDONTS for earlier systems 'It does not depend on MAPI or CDO or Outlook 'It does not use your mailbox to send email. ' So you can send mail without a mail program or mail account ' This code builds the message and drops it into a pickup directory, ' and the SMTP service running on the machine ' picks it up and send it out to the internet. 'So why use CDO code instead of Outlook automation or Application.SendMail in VBA. ' It doesn't matter what Mail program you are using (It uses the SMTP server). ' It doesn't matter what Office version you are using. ' supposedly you can send an object or file in the body of the mail (some mail programs can't do this) ' haven't verified this ' You can send any file attachment you like. ' No Outlook Security warning so no need for Redemption ' You probably wont have your mail server full expanded smtp address 'If you go into netscape mail or outlook and look for the smtp name 'It will look like mine, "shawmail" or "shawnews" this dns resolves 'to "shawmail.cg.shawcable.net" CDO doesn't resolve this short name so 'The quickest way to get this actual address without using registry et al. 'is run cmd and ping "shawmail" to return full qualified smtp address. 'This code wont run exactly unless you are on cable and signed on in the Shaw or whatever is your domain, and your cable modem is a node in their domain Sub SendCDO() ' This example use late binding of CDOSys, you don't have to set a reference ' You must be online to net when you run the sub ' You must be running WinXP or Win2000 Dim cdoMessage As Object Dim objCDOMail As Object Dim strschema As String On Error GoTo ErrorHandler ' Enable error-handling routine.
