Email map contents

[Sandman03]

I have used the Outlook object method of sending an email from a map and it works great. I am doing an 820 Payment Advice map and would like to email the contents of the report file that is created.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way of "attaching" the contents of the map's results to the email that I'm sending? Otherwise I will go through the map and take every field I want to send, and format them at the same time.

I just find that having to do this would be redundant since I already did all of that when I did the map itself.

I didn't make this clear but I am working in Gentran...Anyway I'm now using the Attachments method of my mail object. It works great, however the report file that I wish to attach isn't even created until the entire map is processed.

I have another question: in the Gentran help it says that the "Post Session" rules aren't executed until the translation object is processed. Doesn't this imply that the Export file that is generated by the translation object should be created before the Post-Session is executed? If it actually did this it would be more helpful.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sandman:

You could use a MAPI gateway mailbox if you have this Option installed.

You would export the doc to a file, and then have a Collection mailbox pick up the file and deliver it to a MAPI mailbox, with your users' email addresses configured in.

If you're using Gentran Server for Window 4.x, then you can export directly to the MAPI mailbox, if my info is correct.
