Hi Shamil: That would work under normal conditions, when using a standard Windows program but the application I am working with is a DOS based product. Some day we will update the software but right now the client is putting out a huge sum for new hardware and this upgrade is the best they can afford.

Since I sent out the email I have been scanning the internet for the best product. I looked at FEBOOTI and it looked great but it seems that BLAT might be better regardless of the price. Do you have any comments and further suggestions? That would be greatly appreciated as I have no experience with any similar product and the time line for getting the implementation completed is very tight. If anyone else has experience with BLAT for an actual DOS command line sample/pseudo sample would be greatly appreciated. Note; port 25 is unavailable, of course, but the ISP does support direct access to their email server (smart host).

There is a tool called Febooti Command Line Email app - about $45. Not sure how good it is but I imagine it is fully configurable. It has a free trial period - No I'm not associated with them - Saw the product and thought it might be useful http://www.febooti.com/products/command-line-email/ See ya Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Friday, 21 November 2008 6:16 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues'; 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] emailing from a DOD based program Hi All: Does anyone know a method to email from a DOS based POS program running within a standard XP shell? The DOS based app can exit to the command prompt and can even run some command apps but little more.
