docmd.sendobject and default mail client--Alternatives

G

Garret

I extract some info from some tables in Access2k, then use the data to build
a string for the body of an email message that I send with :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , acFormatTXT, _
strToWhom, , , strSubject, _
strBody, 1

The problem is that some machines pull up different mail clients. About half
the time the more desireable outlook comes up with the appropriate ms
exchange profile, while in other cases outlook express will come up where no
mail accounts are setup. On all the machines where this occurs, MSOutlook is
setup as the default mail client for all I can tell.
The machinesthat run the *.mdb range form win98, Win2K, WinNT.

Is there some way I can programatically have a bit more control over what
mail client is called up and what settings are used? Any Alternative to the
DoCmd.SendObject strategy???

Ideally I would like to pull up some remote mail client will the same
profile each time, but I think that there are some limitations to the
Docmd.SendObject.
