Thank you very much. I will check out the link. From the sample code, it
looks like MAPI can create and send an email with attachments. Is that
correct? I was a little worried with interfacing directly with Outlook,
etc. just in case Outlook saw our program as a virus trying to control it.
I have seen Outlook come up with a message something like: an external
program would like access .... do you want to allow it .....

Are there any concerns with virus protection? In general, I am hoping to
create a very simple auto email program. I have a small program that
connects with our software package and zips up the paradox files to archive
them. I have the archive program setup to archive, on open with the task
scheduler. Then I want to set it up to auto email the data files either to
us, for Tech support, or to a corporate/alternate location. Most of our
users are small chains that have 1-5 stores, but they may want the data sent
to their homes or to a corporate location. Most users do not have an IT
department. Just people trying to guess how to set things up. :)

Thanks for the help. Any other ideas would be great.
