I found a very handy dll that allows you to send email from within your ms access database (also ms excel). This allows you to send email without the use of ms outlook or other email clients.
The web site for the dll is:
http://www.ostrosoft.com/smtp_component.asp
The zip download includes a number of samples for different programming languages. What I liked about this smtp email dll is that I can set up a "monitor window" where I can see what is happening with the smtp server so I can see errors, etc.
The coding is fairly straight forward, and is easy to implement.
I removed some of the samples for other programming codes, and it is attached here.
They also have a dll for reading emails. Have played with it a bit, and it also seems to work fine.
