That's a lot of dough! Very glad to be kept informed of issues like this Darryl, thanks for taking the time to add. I find it harder and harder, since working mostly from home, to keep abreast of what's going on; very gratified for others weighing in on such matters. Another issue lately is retention. I just took a battery of tests through a psychological testing company, and one of the things I found out is that with a lot of detail, my brain needs a few passes before anything sinks in enough to recall it later. If one has to solve a problem, hunts around on Google for a solution, plops it in and the program works ... forget about remembering it. If I have to mess with it and mess with it til it finally works, there is a chance. Maybe to a degree this is a lot of folk, not just me - but I have seen a marked decrease in what I can retain over only a few short years. This is my long way of saying "I may ask this again some time" and please, please don't take it as a sign of not paying attention. You can see by the fact that I have read and replied, that I was at least in the here and now, paying attention. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Darryl Collins Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 6:00 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] .SendObject when Outlook is not present 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/Micros oft-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.
