[AccessD] Email - Attachments

Hey Dan
Thanks
Duh (to myself)??? I have been using ShellExecute to open up the user's 
EMailer, found you cannot use attachments.  What I am kind of looking at 
is simply opening their Emailer (generic) and automatically filling in 
the information for them, they can manually send it.

I was kind of hoping that I could simply do this without making it 
Outlook specific etc.
I will keep your info for further reference.
