Thanks (yet again) for the help Dev. I have decided to be stubborn on this
one and just pop up a message saying that anyone still using Outlook 97
can't use the email functions in the database!! Carrot and Stick method,
only I lost the carrot somewhere!!
I still can't quite decide whether CDO is better or not, so I have linked in
BOTH libraries and will probably in the future work out which one I like
better. I wanted to send rtf text to the body part of an email, and
Microsoft say that you need to do some MAPI programming so I may just head
in that direction!! But we will see!!
Anyway, thanks again for the help
Philip
