Hi Tom,

Have recently upgraded to 10G express for my developemnt system

All has been running without any problems until I tried to compile a form which was accessing an utl_smtp procedure to send emails ( based on sample from your site )

Procedure ran fine under 8i and 9i but comes up with these errors:-

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sun May 7 23:49:25 2006

SQL> start html_email

Looks familiar ?

Is utl_smtp part of 10g express or do i need standard edition/Enterprise edition ?

Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you
