Hi John,
Here's a simple example of using blat. I put it in a program called
testblat and run it till it works. If you can get someone to set up an
email account you can send from, then you can put these values in the
code below and use it. I had to tweak it a bit to get it working but
now it works great. All you need is this bit of code and the DLL

cEmailto='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
cCCto=''
cBCCto=''
lcResult = "FAILED"
cEmailSubject='this is the subject of a test email'
cEmailFrom='emailaddressusedtosend'
cAttach='c:\images\this is a long name.jpg'
cEmailbody='this is the body'
lcFile='xtradata.dir' && just a dummy file - does not get sent
IF !EMPTY(cAttach)
cAttach = [ -attach ] + '"'+cAttach+'"'
