E-Mailing from VFP 7

[skaskas]

Hi,

I am trying to write a process to e-mail some information from a VFP form thru Outlook Express ot Outlook.

I looked into the SendMail foundation classes, got confused and did not work.

Any hints will be apprecheated.

Thanks

Sal

There are MANY threads on both MAPI and Outlook Automation - just do a search. There is nothing different about VFP 7.0 vs, 5 or 6 in this regard.

Hello Skaskas,

There are several threads here on the subject. thread184-36686 is one. This has a couple of ideas. Personally, I prefer solutions that do not assume that any particular email client is present and have used the Shellexecute. Not as elegant as the object oriented approach but it works. There probably is a way to programatically find the email client you have to work with that I don't know about.

If you would like other answers, just do a keyword search for 'email'.

Personally I use Jim Radiks MAILSEND program.
It is not as integrated as an OOP solution, but it works, its cheap, there's a demo and its fast. Sorry, I get a bit enthusiastic about things that work... (see DBU thread!)
