From a responce from the Access group I learned that the "SendObject"
can't
be configured to work with AOL so my only choice is to setup outlook on
the
same PC and use outlook to ONLY be used for send fron Access. AOL will
still be the 'defaut email pgm'. How do I do this? I have tried puting
in a
fake Incoming email[POP3] address and leaving the field blank. Both
produce
errors.

so the question now is - how do I set up Outlook to only send and not
recieve.

Sure, if you install and configure Outlook why wouldn't it work?

I have been using the "SendObject" command to email reports and it works
great as long as the user has MS Outlook as their mail program. Users
that
have AOL (and I can't convince them it adds no value) get errors.

Can the SendObject be configured to other mail programs than MS
Outlook?
If
not can I set up Outlook on the same PC to just be used to send from
Access
and still have AOL for everyday mail send/receive.

I will post this question on the Outlook site as well.
