[AccessD] SMTP Server

Thanks Jim,
I actually sorted this out some time back.  I did report back to the list
with the details.  It all works fine now.  I have my own SMTP Server via
Localhost and feed emails to it via Blat with Access producing the Blat
file.
The actual link you provided below was one of the early ones I tried but it
is no good and is only a "tickler" to purchase the version that works ok.
Thanks for the thought anyway.
Max
