Howdy all. Here is the crux of problem. I have a script running on my NT box that sits and monitors our main NT file server, when free space drops below 2gb it sends out an email via Win32::OLE and Outlook. Actually I have 3 similar programs running that email when something goes wrong, but I starting with this one. So being the good little Perl hacker that I am, I was always looking for ways to improve my Code. I was getting sick of have the script visibly running on the desktop. One word: "SERVICE". So I modified the code, it now runs as a service. But when the error condition is matched, it opens outlook in a different (non visible) session, but does't actually email. Please help JAPH's, your my only Hope. BatGnat
