send report form as email

[channelmaster]

HI!
Can anyone tell me on how to send my report form as an email? The idea is when I send the report form as an email, my email client(outlook express 5) will pop up and the report is written within the email client window. Is this possible? Thanks in advance

What if your customer running your program doesn't use Outlook?

Perhaps you're developing an app that will only be used in-house, and you can be assured OE is available. Look in the FAQs for any that refer to sending emails, such as:

HI

Can anyone tell me on how to send my report form as an email? The idea is when I send the report form as an email, my email client(outlook express 5) will pop up and the report is written within the email client window .

Since outlook express is not COM, we can achieve in two steps.

1. Step1: Send the report to a text file.
myTxt = SYS(3)+".txt"
ERASE (myTxt)
REPORT FORM myReport TO FILE (myTxt) ASCII
_clipText = FILETOSTR('myTxt')
ERASE (mytxt)

** Note ERASE (myTxt) is to keep a clean drive space.
** Step1 exports the report to the ClipBoard

2. In the email client window, simply press Ctrl+V to paste the report from the clipboard to the email window.

Hope this gives you an idea.

If the email client is COM, then you can attach the txt file generated in step1 to the email directly.
