Can I create an email from foxpro 2.6 ? 1

[hlvorbeck]

I need to create an email from a Foxpro 2.6 application. Is it possible ?
How can I do it ?

Thanks, HL

The easiest way is probably using vbscript and Outlook, provided the computer has both installed. Otherwise, do a search in this thread and you'll come up with some SMTP and Blat options.
Here is a sample I got from this thread somewhere. Sorry, I can't give proper credit to the author:

------ E:Mail.VBS ------------------------------------------

'To run this in fox, use something like: !/n Wscript email.vbs

set objoutlook=CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot
set objmail=objoutlook.CreateItem(0)
objmail.Recipients.Add("sombody@somewhere.com&quot
objmail.Subject = "Email Script Test"
objmail.cc = "sombodyelse@somewhere.com"
objmail.Body = vbcrlf&" Body Message Here."
objmail.Attachments.Add("c:\autoexec.bat&quot
objmail.Send
'objoutlook.quit 'uncomment to close outlook
set objmail=nothing
set objoutlook=nothing
------------- to here -----------------------------------
