Choosing a method of sending your email.I would prefer Directly via the Winsock as this option avoids the distribution problems of DLLs or OCXs. Third Party Controls comes in second given the Microsoft DLL/OCX version problems. The above two solutions allow your program to receive and monitor some error messages much closer. For example the your email server would inform your software that a given domain name doesn't exist. However these solutions require a lot more familiarity with VBA code. Another option is FMS Inc's Total Access Emailer. "Sending emails merged with your Microsoft Access data is a snap with Total Access Emailer. Generate personalized emails for everyone in your table or query. Emails can be in text and/or HTML format, and you can even embed or attach personalized (filtered) data and Access reports for each recipient." ( 2011-07-11) Note that with any solution you would likely want to use a dedicated email account as the Reply-To address. Thus either the users or, where feasible, your software can handle the various inquiries and inevitable bounces.
