Thanks, Mark

-----------------------------
<% ' Email results to poster
Set Mail2 = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Persits.MailSender&quot;)
Mail2.Host = &quot;smtp.yoursite.com&quot; ' Specify a valid SMTP server
Mail2.From = Email_of_Poster ' Specify sender's address
Mail2.FromName = Name_of_Poster ' Specify sender's name

Mail2.AddAddress &quot;someone@yoursite.com&quot;

Mail2.AddAttachment server.mappath(&quot;yourFilename&quot;) ' Attach a file on the WEB site

Mail2.Subject = &quot;Reply form your Site&quot;
msg = Name_of_submitter & &quot; has posted a response to your &quot; & Subject_of_Current_Post
Mail2.Body = msg

Doug,
I'm not trying to send it from our web site. It's an internal network with an external mail server. I'm trying to send a daily email with an attachment to the same individual with a refreshed .txt file.
Thanks,
Mark
 
So all u need is to put the code of DougP in your vb aplication and replace the line
Mail2.AddAttachment server.mappath(&quot;yourFilename&quot;)
with
Mail2.AddAttachment &quot;path_to_yourFilename&quot;
Have a nice day... ________
George, M
