Hello all,

i am trying to do following: I have a form(Forms 6i), where i want to make a doubleclick into a field. When this is done, i want an eMail created, with recipient, sender, and so on filled. This is not the biggest problem. The problem is, now i would like to add an attachment(txt oder html file) to that eMail. Does anyone know how to do this?
At the moment i am doing this:
Win_Api_Shell.WinExec('c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start mailto:"'||'Emailadress'||'"');
Im getting then an empty email with filled in emailadress. How can i add an attachment now? Is there a special parameter? Or do i have to use another way to do it? I see different programs doing it(Fax programs and stuff).

Thank you for your help.

Helge.
