Greetings,
Yes Excel is needed on the machine in order to open a spreadsheet. An option to avoid this would be to save the spreadsheet as a CSV file and open it with Delimited (no need to add in the comma in the delimiter field) – and if your spreadsheet had a field labels – check Take labels from first line so the DataStation will read the first line in the CSV file to get the field names.
Regards,
Thom

Subject: RE: [Talk] Sending e-mails using SMTP from BWS.

 

This brings up a question I have had. 

 

The machine that is running Boston does not have Microsoft Office.  Is it necessary to have Office on the machine in order to read .xls files?

 

Using SMTP email, I didn't need our email client.

 

Thanks,

Greetings,
BWS V8 has a built in SMTP email feature - select View - Messaging and then
"fill in the blanks". Select Learn and Execute and it will send a test email
and build a BWS SendMail command for you.
Regards,
Thom

Hello.
Has anyone tried to send e-mails from their BWS script using SMTP?  I will
not have an e-mail client (MS Outlook, GroupWise, etc.) loaded on the PC
that will be running my BWS script, but it can access an external SMTP
server.

Thanks.
