I am assisting in the development of an application to be used on a pocket PC using PC2002 OS.
We were going to develop using Embedded VB. However we now understand that eMbedded Visual Basic won?t allow access to sending emails.
Can you verify this or stear us in the direction to solve this problem.

Which ever VB version you use. Vb does not have a direct emailing facility. VB is a pure language. You can use outlook automation server or MAPI. MAPI is faster than Outlook in few ways as outlook.exe will not be marshalled in memory.

The reply helped. It sent us to search other areas we hadn't looked at. THe email facility is working fine and we have written our own merge function to personalise emails or letters sent from a Handdheld PC.

THanks
