Send Attachement with email

[Mistral2]

When I send email i use the following code :

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, STRING cAction, STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, STRING cDir, INTEGER nShowWin

lcMail = "mailto:john@mycompany.com"+ ;
"?CC= boss@mycompany.com&Subject= Meet for lunch"+ ;
"&Body= Please join me for a sandwich at noon."
ShellExecute(0,"open",lcMail,"","",1)

I haven't found in the sentax how to add attachement (sending file)

Unfortunately this API call has it's limitations. But if you use that code, it should bring up Outlook Express (or your default e-mail program) ready to send, you can attached your file at that point.

But if you want to automate the process including the attachements take a look at faq184-766 or faq184-1768. Mike Gagnon
