Some email servers do not require authentication. That means you would only have to put in the email_host.

I believe what I need to know from our IT man are the following: Each user Id, Our email server ID (HOST), Port (maybe), and whether we need to Authenticate. I know none of these at this time.

In your example you have set those in Rbase and as someone said you would have to set on each machine. In my example I can run this on any machine with no email setup, my table does that for me.

Do you set up a table within RBASE with columns? Those columns would have (at least for us) EMPID, user name, password, etc. Then the variables would fetch that information each time they would email something from within RBASE?

That is not a problem. Outlook freezes up with a message stating something like: "Another program is trying to access Outlook." The screen then will not allow me to access any part of Outlook until I exit then restart Outlook. I added the SET VAR vEmresult = (DLFree('mapimail4.rbl')) to the end of the code at someone's suggestion a while back hoping that would care for the problem. I thought it did but the problem has continued. I noticed in some of the questions about email they use this type of code: PRINT Invoice WHERE TransID = 1031 + OPTION PDF|FILENAME Invoice_1031.PDF + |EMAIL ON + |EMAIL_TO_LIST [email protected], [email protected] + Can these be defined variables as well? |EMAIL_FROM_NAME John D. Johnson + |EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS [email protected] + |EMAIL_SUBJECT Imagine The Possibilities! + |EMAIL_BODY Attached is the invoice - sent via R:BASE. Because we Can! + |EMAIL_ATTACHMENTS C:\Letters\otherstuff.pdf#C:\Letters\morestuff.pdf + |EMAIL_DELETE_AFTER_SEND ON + |EMAIL_SHOW_DIALOG OFF RETURN What is the difference between using variables and using the above code? I am so lacking in how email programs work.

Perhaps the PDF file has not yet been fully formed before RBase gets to the line where you're trying to send out the file. Maybe put a "pause for 5" in there.

The only difference seems to be we create the PDF just before sending it. This has been a thorn in my flesh for some time and I would like to get it fixed. Any suggestions sure would be appreciated.
