how to send email from vbscript? 2

[jfdabiri]

hi,
i'm using grouwise. not sure if smtp is enabled or if it's using its own stuff. but i haven't been able to set up a command to send email from vbscript using groupwise.
there's a piece of code that is posted in vba that's using groupwise to send from access in the form docmd.sendsubject
but i'm not sure how to subtitute a run command or something for docmd? maybe that would work?

DoCmd.SendObject , , , "me@myemail.com", , , "Audit Due", " Attached is the Audit tool for the " & [TaskDescription] & " Audit.  Please print, complete and return to me as soon as possilbe.", -1, Attchmnt

Have you had a look at GWSend (

http://www.wolfgangschreiber.de/)?

It lets you send messages using basic Groupwise options, e.g. filling the recipient list, adding attachments, specifying user names, etc.

As GWSend is a Win32 console application, you can use it to send GroupWise messages from a command line or from batch files, i.e. it's scriptable.

Sounds just what you are looking for. Hope this helps...

longhair and rick
thanks so much for the replies. i'm not sure what blat is.
i'm not sure what GWsend is either. can you elaborate?
how would i use gwsend? or blat?
thanks again.

ok,
i checked that site. gwsend seems to be what i want. i have to wait and see if i can implement it in a vbscript.
thanks so much.

Have a look at

http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13913.html

for syntax and some examples of use.

I haven't used GWSend but a very basic example using VBScript would look something like this:

Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShell.run ("C:\gwsend.exe /t=jfdabiri@my_company.com /s="This is the subject" /m="This is the message text" /a=C:\attached.doc")
Set WShell = nothing

I also found some info about using VB at

http://www.planet-source-code.com/U...ode!asp/txtCodeId!3635/lngWid!10/anyname.htm.

Hope this helps...

jfdabiri,
you can get the latest version of blat at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81910

very good command line smtp mailer that can be called with dos, vba, vbscript, etc..
regards,
longhair

This is how I send email from vbscript...

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Subject"
objMessage.From = "youremail@yahoo.com"
objMessage.To = "toemail@yahoo.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "The Body of your email"
objMessage.AddAttachment "c:\anyattachement.txt"
objMessage.Send

thanks so much everyone.
i got it to work with groupwise as was shown on wolfgang shreiber's site. it works ok.
i'm not sure if groupwise uses smtp and pop3. because when i tried cdo.message, it wouldn't work.
thanks again.
