[AccessD] Email Automation to Outlook problem

I don't seem to be able to get rid of the apostrophes around the email
address.

Per Susan H.'s recommendation, I added brackets:
	itm.To = "<" & strEmailAddr & ">"

Still shows up in Outlook with apostrophes and no brackets.

Maybe this is some spam-fighting patch in Outlook implemented by Microsoft
recently.

It is causing big trouble for my client (and me).

I am actually having a related issue right now.  I have a db that imports 
data every 30 minutes...does an analysis...and emails results using outlook.

  It worked fine for a year...and now outlook crashes almost everytime with 
"An unknown Error".  If I execute the exact same code from a button instead 
of a timer, it runs fine...I'm lost at this time.  I need a way to send an 
email without using outlook...I guess?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
