Is it possible to send an email via Access using the SendObject command that
can't be replied too? The office I am doing a project for doesn't want folks
having the ability to reply to automated emails they send out since they
would come back to their personal email boxes. Can that be done via the
SendObject command?

This is not an Access property. You can change/add the ReplyTo email address
to something like:

spacecadet@dingbat.com

and then change it back after the email is sent. You need to do that
individually in each user's mail program.

You might try setting up a dummy profile or account on the sender's machine.
But you would have to use Automation instead of SendObject. Then just ignore
that account.

Thanks all. Security here is tight so the odds of me getting access to
accounts to set up dummies or whatnot is near nil. I will just tell them that
request can't be complied with. Appreciate the inputs.
