You can also CDOSys to send email. I use this all the time as it is built in to Windows. http://leafe.com/archives/full_thread/442226
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brant E. Layton Sent: 19 August 2011 19:01 To: GrahamB Subject: Sending E-mail from VFP Hi Folks, I'm seeking some insight into sending E-mail from VFP programs. In the past, I've seen this done by dropping .BAT files containing MAPI commands into a system folder, with the .BAT file sending another .txt file. There wasn't a good way to track the success of the sending. It also doesn't seem to work if you can't get access to MAPI processes (like, you don't have a server, don't have Exchange, etc.). At least this is my understanding of the mechanism. Today, I need to be able to generate a nifty, nicely-formatted HTML Email (with logos, etc.), and send it, done by a VFP program. I'm not worried about the generating, just the sending part. I'm assuming that the old way would still work, and have heard of some virtual printers that will do this. Comments and/or experience on the best way to do this? Thanks in advance, Brant Layton 480.964.1316 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
