[Quoted] Got any ideas on how to do this? I'm storing e-mail addresses in the database, and I already know I can write to a text file. I'm using MS Exchange for e-mail, which seems to be pretty limited at the command line. I can spawn Exchange from a button in my form, and it will come up with a new message containing the text from the text file I wrote to, but I don't know how to put the address in the address block. Is this something I'll have to do on the server side, like a cron job or something? Like I could write a job that runs a SQL*Plus report, spools the data to the file, then mails it automatically to a person of my choosing. Please comment on my plans, or shoot them down, or whatever. If you've done this before, please help!

Have a good one,
