corrupted ZIP attachment using COD to send emails

[Admigha]

I'm using this: Createobject("CDO.Configuration")
to send e-mails within VFP9 application, it works fine
But when I send zipped attachment, the file is received corrupted.
System:WindXp pro, VFP9, AVG anti virus
Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Have you tested this with another program that zips? Like either winzip, or winrar or pkzip?
Windows XP's ability to zip file something causes problems.

Thanks for replying,
But I used the zipped file locally, it opens normally.
Knowing that I tried winzip and pkzip and I had the same result, corrupted file on the receiving side.

When I send the same file using any other e-mail program I have no problem.

thank you verry much white605, it helped.
for others who have the same problem they can use the following in VFP: loMsg.Attachments.Add.ContentTransferEncoding="base64"
Thanks again..
