Bill, You are likely to find this more and more these days as MS Outlook is no longer a standard part of every version of Office these days - rather it is only available on the more costly versions. You can buy it separately if you wish. Of course costs vary wildly around the world and here in Oz (Australia) we get ripped pretty badly on prices - so to purchase MS Outlook as a stand-alone product is an additional $180 AUD over and above the cost of the MS office suite (assuming the version you purchased doesn't come with an Outlook License). Many folks or small businesses, who just want an email client or two, decide it ain't worth the cost and swap to Thunderbird, Pegasus or even Gmail instead. For the curious... here is what MS Office product cost in AUD (keep in mind that the AUD is worth approx 1.02 USD at the moment - so pretty much parity). << http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Software/Microsoft-Office>> Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of William Benson Sent: Wednesday, 7 December 2011 6:01 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] .SendObject when Outlook is not present (I think??) I'm glad to hear this! Thanks for such well informed responses. There are so many things I take for granted with MS Office installed.
