Does anyone know how to send and email in the background?
i mean without showing the email progress dialog?

OR how to disable this dialog?

Write the following codein to your Project in the Form_load Procedure form1.visible=false

thanks but outlook express for example detects that an email is about to be sent and notifies the user.

There's no way around it (usine MAPI). It's a security feature since hackers decided to take advantage of it. (Unless you ocmpletely removed all security of outlook it might work, but then it's completely open to scripts/viruses).

Hi JLRodgers.

I have peeped a book before in visual basic 5. It taught how to send email messages and it's not using outlook, or bypassed outlook, I think. It uses an ocx (or activex, not sure) from Marby (third party software maker). I don't know if that ocx is free now.

So how did they do it? How can it be done without buying third party ocx?

If you are not required to use MAPI and are targeting NT based systems, then look at a program called BLAT.EXE.  You can shell an SMTP mail message out to it.

The really cool thing about BLAT is that there is a DLL available for it, and the source code is also available for it.
