E-Mailing Info Entered in an vb6 app.

I am wondering how you would get a program to e-mail you when someone enter's data and then clicks a button.

You might want to create your own "mail function" using the winsock control or raw tcp/ip, but you will need to know some SMTP commands like:

RCPT TO:
MAIL FROM:
DATA

and so on, good luck! Gordon R. Durgha

This wasn't very helpful because of one reason, I don't know how to use those controls and I am a begginner, I also don't have winsock or anything of that sort

This Works for me:

Add the MicroSoft MAPI control 6.0 to your project and place a 'MAPISession' and a 'MAPIMessages' on a form (here:MyForm).
Here's the code that sends the mail:

MyForm.MAPISession1.LogonUI = True
MyForm.MAPISession1.UserName = "YourUserName"
MyForm.MAPISession1.SignOn
With MyForm.MAPIMessages1
.SessionID = MyForm.MAPISession1.SessionID
.Compose
.RecipDisplayName = "mymail@myserver.com"
.MsgSubject = "TheSubject"
.MsgNoteText = "TheMail"
.ResolveName
.Send
End With
MyForm.MAPISession1.SignOff

Good luck
