That is no good to me hellswriath for the following reasons

Mapi control in vb uses only a limited number of the functions contained in Mapi32.dll

None of those functions does anything close to what the function does that i am after

That is why i am having to try to convert the information over to a vb api call

I know it can be done

I just need 1 little peice of info and i should be away
