[AccessD] Error creating emails in Outlook in Win8

Carolyn,

I have a number of nightly "Access Batch Jobs" that create many reports in PDF format and automatically e-mail these PDF files to select employees.

When I first started this project, I tried to use Outlook but ran into many time consuming issues.

I then did some research and started to experiment with a free command line e-mail utility called Blat.  Blat worked Okay, but when I ran into some problems, I spent a lot of time and could not get good answers from anyone, so I decided to try the free trial version of a command line e-mailer called Febooti.

I had immediate success with Febooti and decided to purchase the product (less than $100).  For the past two years, Febooti has worked very well for us.  It was money well spent for us.

You might not be interested in switching horses, but I thought that my experience might be useful to you.

I did a google search and found similar messages. These links may be helpful, I hope.
I am not an Outlook programmer, but thought the links or links within may be helpful.

Good luck.
