Help connecting FP Application to a mail server

OK, this might be a bit of a newbie question, but the last time I used FoxPro was in 1990 and I am trying to get to grips with Visual FoxPro (though I am using VFP 6.0 until I can get my copy of Visual Studio

Can somebody point me in the right direction to find some resources. What I want to do is have a a FoxPro application be able to send an email via a mail server. (I'd also like it to be able to connect to an FTP server at a later date as well

Anybody got any ideas or suggestion

Hello, SeaTac!

The wwipstuff library supports SMTP based email and FTP. You can get it
here: www.west-wind.com. You may also want to search the google groups for
MAPI, BLAT for more info on automated email. For a free FTP class, search
the download area of www.universalthread for FTPCLASS.

Win2000 and XP Pro come with a COM server, CDOSYS.DLL
osmpt = CreateObject('CDO.Message')
oconfig=CreateObjcect('CDO.Configuration')

Hi Seatac
Visual FoxPro has opted out of Visual Studio. It's sold separately but it's
also part of any MSDN subscription.

Ahh, Thats good to know, I was hitting up my contact at MS to get it from the company store. I would have been gutted to get Visual Studio and find VFP missing. I guess I need to get both then, as I need a C Environment as well. Thanks
