If you only need server side emailing, you can use BLAT. There are free and pay versions. Both work equally well and include a pretty deep list of features including attachments in multiple formats. It is easily integrated into PRO-IV via SYSTEM call.

When we used the control, we were able to add an attachment using the following:

$Filename = POLICY + CDATE(ENTERED)
+ ENTERED_TIME + '0200.pdf'

$Filepath = 'S:\XXYShare\DEV\SLON\' + $Filename

#T = ProMail.AddAttachment(PR)


"PR" INTERFACE MAPPING WITH THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES:

sFileLogicalName = $Filename

sFilePath = $FilePath


Not sure why it would not attach for you. I notice it(PROIV) is sometimes very touchy as to where in a function this is called. Worked for us pretty good.

Vol, you asked about calling MAPI from PRO-IV. Unfortunately, we wrote our own dll that interfaces with MAPI.DLL, so we don't have an example of calling MAPI.DLL directory from LINK_CLIENT. Mark Dexter

Thanks Mark,

I am currently using a 3rd party Window based emailer and have PRO-IV generates command file to send email. Which is working fine at the moment.

I may do more reserach and learn how to write my own dll in the future

Has anyone had success displaying the email message (user wants to see contents before clicking 'send') when using the Pro-IV E-Mail control? I've set the Visible property to True and called the Display method but no luck. Failing that, does anyone have a link to a list of DDE commands for Outlook (not Outlook Express)?

Thanks

Sorry Mike,

But Outlook does not support DDE.

Check out the following link.

Thanks for the info. Ended up using rundll32.exe in the end which I think will be better for what we need.

Dunno if it helps but we've been sending emails from Pro-IV 4.6 without problems for a while:

$$EMAIL = 'mailto:support@email.co.uk?subject=Help%20me!^&body=Dear'
+ '%20Support,%0A%0AI%20messed%20up%20again...')

#A = SYSTEM('GUI /C START ' + $$EMAIL)

The one annoying part is having to put %20 for every space, however I've written a global logic to do this :

REPLACE

A PARMS($$TEXT,$FROM,$TO)

FOR #A = 1 TO LEN($$TEXT)
IF $$TEXT(#A,#A) = $FROM THEN
$$NEW-TEXT = $$NEW-TEXT + $TO
ELSE
$$NEW-TEXT = $$NEW-TEXT + $$TEXT(#A,#A)
ENDIF
ENDFOR

RETURN($$NEW-TEXT)

Used is logic as : $$BODY = REPLACE($$BODY,' ','%20')
