How to send HTML Emails Using VB

[ptyFrankie]

Hi,

I need to develop an application that get User information from a text file, then use specific User information to update an html form, and send that to the User.

For example, the text file has:

User1
Debs = $5.00
Cash = $10.00

User2
Debs = $6.00
Cash = $20.00

etc.. etc..

then the app should get User information, and use an HTML template to prepare specific user its data and send only user1 info to user1... and so on...

Can someone help me ? I have no idea how to start....

Best Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,
There is a freeware control available that will let you send html email messages as well as attachments that works quite will in VB. We use it here all the time. If you would like to email me at noblebell@scoreboard1.com I can send it to you.

Thanks,
Noble

If you do a search on this forum for 'email' or 'mapisession' you will get several good answers, including thread222-504286. There is also a faq on the subject.

As this is a forum for sharing info it's probably better to just supply a pointer to the freeware control rather than emailing it. You are also likely to get less spam if you don't publish your email on a public site!

See also faq222-2244. It not only shows how to get the best out of the forum by asking the best questions, but also clarifies the email issue.
