hello, thank for your response.

I apologize in advance for the stupid question.

For the code your referred me to, where do I enter my info exactly? what is the syntax?

Function email(ByVal sender_email As String, _
ByVal email_message As String, _
ByVal email_message2 As String, _
ByVal reply_address As String, _
ByVal sender_name As String)

Dim Mail As New Message

Dim Cfg As Configuration

Set Cfg = Mail.Configuration

'SETUP MAIL CONFIGURATION FIELDS
Cfg(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
Cfg(cdoSMTPServer) = 'SMTP
Cfg(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 'SMTPport
Cfg(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
Cfg(cdoSMTPUseSSL) = True
Cfg(cdoSendUserName) = 'sender_email
Cfg(cdoSendPassword) = 'password
Cfg.Fields.Update

'SEND EMAIL
With Mail
.From = 'sender_name & sender_email
.ReplyTo = 'reply_address
.To = 'receiver
.CC = 'carbonCopy
.BCC = 'blindCopy
.Subject = 'SubjectLine
.HTMLBody = 'email_message & email_message2
.Attachments.Add attFilePath
.Send
End With

for instance, this line:
Cfg(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 'SMTPport
do I remove the ' and enter the SMTPport details?...is there some sort of code to get the SMTPport address?
for this line:
Cfg(cdoSendUserName) = 'sender_email
do I simply remove the ' and enter the sender's email address?
