Send email via Outlook

Hi,
Is it possible to programatically (FoxpoW 2.6) send an email message with no user intervention. The program would provide the email address, the subject and the message text.
Thanks, Joe

Hi,

See thread182-451694.

Hi,
If you're referring to the code in Article 102467, it brings up a Send Note dialog box which requires user intervention. Do you mean using BLAT or GBmail?

I am sorry, I was referring to the code in that article, thinking it would do what you were asking for, but I have never used it. What I did use sometime ago was BLAT, and as far as I can recall, it didn't require user intervention.

I've never used BLAT and according to that thread, It's not for FoxproW. It says: For FoxPro for DOS, do a search here on BLAT - this is a DOS only solution for sending messages.

I used the vbscript in thread 182-674134 and it seems to have worked!

I am glad you found a solution that works for you.

This is the vbscript code from thread182-674134:

set objoutlook=CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set objmail=objoutlook.CreateItem(0)
    objmail.Recipients.Add("sombody@somewhere.com")
    objmail.Subject = "Email Script Test"
    objmail.cc = "sombodyelse@somewhere.com"
    objmail.Body = vbcrlf&" Body Message Here."
    objmail.Attachments.Add("c:\autoexec.bat")
    objmail.Send
    'objoutlook.quit  'uncomment to close outlook
set objmail=nothing
set objoutlook=nothing
