Dan,
Blat.exe is the SMTP email program I am using. Google it. I tried sendemail.exe but Blat is much smaller and a little faster. There is at least one other out there but Blat seems to be trusted by others (when I googled it) and has worked for me. RunH.exe runs a file hidden in the background. Launch .vcmd works great without RunH but a dos command line window appears on top of the form. I am trying to avoid the window popping up. Could not get launch .vcmd ||W or launch .vcmd |W to wait (I assume to many parameters?) so I stopped trying to use temp files and started writing unique filenames to a sub directory to avoid potential multi-user problems.

Thanks for the tip. I will play with it too. I have been searching around for a command line e-mail program that works.

Dan, RunH.exe - John Minyo pointed me towards http://helpdesk.kixtart.org/ then scroll down. It is a freeware program. >have you tried these: >LAUNCH runh|.vcmd|W Result in full version "Windows cannot find '.vcmd'." >LAUNCH runh|&vcmd|W Result in full version "Windows cannot find '&vcmd'." set var vcommand text = ('LAUNCH runh|' + .vcmd + '|W') --puts the command into a variable &vcommand --runs the command Result in full version: a quick flash on the taskbar, but no email or update to the log of emails sent. I have tried every combination of launch with and without the "W" I could come up with including yours above. That's why I started trying ZIP which works full version, doesn't work compiled version. I think it is because I have a program "Runh.exe" calling another program "Blat.exe" passing a large number of parameters for Blat.exe. Too complex for launch? Zip does it great in the full version. Dan Goldberg PS is that Runh program available?? It would like it if is. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kenny Camp Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 10:00 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - 7.6 compiler - Is zip supported? In the full version of R:Base 7.6 for Windows "ZIP runh .vcmd " works exactly like I want, but not in my compiled version. Is ZIP supported in the compiler? I haven't been able to get launch to work correctly for this yet. Runh.exe runs a file in the background (Thanks John) I'm trying to use BLAT.exe and it's parameters in a variable to send email from my Citrix server directly using SMTP instead of setting up 50 email clients on the Citrix server (one for each user now and add one for each in the future) Example of vcmd blat.exe -f [email protected] -to [email protected] -subject "CRM Communication METRO AVIATION, INC. 48025 Record# 192 AT8 Tami / Greg " -server smtpout.xxxxx.net -bodyf \elec\crm_email\6.txt -u [email protected] -pw xxxxx -log \elec\crm_email\CRM_Log.txt Kenny Camp
