Send Mail Using Access

[Guest]

I currently have an application which provides functionality to send reports
using MS Outlook. I have a problem if the user does not have Outlook. How
can I provide this functionality if they do have Outlook? Can it send using
other mail servers (AOL, hotmail, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

You can use SendObject if the user has a MAPI compliant default email
client, like Outlook Express. You can test that by:

1. Open any document.
2. On the File menu, select Send To
3. If your mail program launches a blank e-mail message with your document
as an attachment, then your mail program is MAPI compliant.
