I really hate - HATE - using Outlook. I was going to make an Email module, but it will send direct to your SMTP server. Personally I use Gmail, but you can connect to anything you want. Outlook is just such a pain. Would that work for ya?

I mean... I could do Outlook, but... ew...

I use outlook at work and at home, I have all my Gmail go through outlook as well and I even use the outlook app, I thought you preached Microsoft LOL. Is there a way just to default to the user's default email client whatever is setup?

I think the issue is more jumping between Access and Outlook, theres a warning that can popup and its a little annoying.
Whereas you can code it all in Access and never have to leave your db.

Yeah, what Alex said. I mean, I could very easily make a SINGLE email sender via Outlook. And if you used my method you could connect to your mail server (the same one Outlook connects to) and replies would come back to Outlook for you. Your sent copy would be saved in the database.

I'm very much looking forward to the email functionality as well as a simple way of copying contact data from Access into your regular Outlook/Gmail/business contact address directory for easy dialing or recognizing who is calling...
