Email from VFP App Using Groupwise

[Shanachie]

I have a Visual FoxPro application for a client using Novell's Groupwise 5.2.3. We want to send email from within the application. With MS Outlook, the code is a piece of cake, looks like this (from another thread on this forum):

#DEFINE MAIL_MESSAGE 0

oApp = createobject("Outlook.Application&quot
oMail = oApp.CreateItem(MAIL_MESSAGE)
with oMAil
.to = "JoeSchmoe@nowhere.com"
.cc = "JoeSchmoesBoss@nowhere.com"
.bcc = "JoeSchmoesWife@nowhere.com"
.subject = "This is the subject"
.body = "This is the body"
.send()
endwith

I'm completely new to GW but there's GOT to be a similar way to do this.

TIA
Shanachie

Hi Shanachie,

IF Groupwise is set as the client's default mail application, you can use MAPI to transmit the email.

I would recommend downloading Nigel Coates's MAPI Mail class from

http://www.UniversalThread.com.

It is found in the Files\Classes section. I believe it's file #1034.

Also, if Groupwise is not your clients default mail application, you can download a patch to set it as default from
