Thanks for your reply Tony
Maybe I need to clarify what it is I am trying to do...
The form inserts an appointment into the outlook calendar of the person
operating the db, this brings up a "Hire Due" message on the due date of the
hire, this part works great. what I am trying to achieve is to get the same
form to email the customer with a similar appointment which will alert them
at the due date, this last appointment doesn't need to appear in the
operators calendar. It is ok in their outbox/sent items.
I will look at your Website as soon as it starts to work for me!
Thanks again
Sam

I have used microsoft's automated appointment code to do this, what I
wouldalso like the code to do is to email an appointment to the person hiring
thegear.
See the Access Email FAQ at my website.
Knowing that you can email an appointment from within outlook and create
anappointment with access surely you can do both?
Sure.
And for a challenge I don't want the appointment that is being sent to
reside in the operators outlook calender (if possible)
Now I'm confused. Your first paragraph states "automatically inserts an
appt into outllook" and yet here you don't.
Or did you mean you don't want the sent email to be inserted in the
operators sent box? If so one possibility might be to use a different profile. But I
don't know how to use profiles in Outlook or if that would be the best answer.
