Emailing from a form

What are you using to email with?  Is this over an office LAN using an existing email package (MSMail, Lotus Notes).  If so, what type of mail package are you using?

Assuming VB5...

Make sure you have checked the Microsoft MAPI controls under the Project menu.

Drag both the MAPI Session control and the MAPI Message control to your form.

I named my controls "mapSession" and "mapMessage"

add this to your Form_Load event:

Private Sub Form_Load()
   mapSession.SignOn
End Sub


add this to your function:

With mapMessage
  .SessionID = mapSession.SessionID
  .Compose
  .RecipDisplayName = "Merritt, Jay"
  .MsgSubject = "Test"
  .MsgNoteText = "IT WORKED " & Chr(13)
  '.AttachmentPathName = "C:\Test.txt"
  .Send
End With

since your signon is in the form_load, you can send multiple messages without signing on again.

have fun!

Okay, I messed up.  I forgot to say that it is for a VB-CGI application.  It's the usual submit form and all of that good stuff.  Sorry for the mix-up.

I already know how to do the database stuff.

If you are using Microsoft SQL Server you can use xp_SendMail.

I've found it to be very easy.

Otherwise you need to be more specific your e-mail options.

I'm using an Access db with an O'reilly webserver.  I just want a dummy message sent.  The email message doesn't have to be anything special.  Is there perhaps a CGI command you know that will do this with VB?

How do you send mail manually?

What kind of e-mail system do you have?

We use Pegasus mailer.  I don't know if you're familiar with that or not.

Sorry...

You need to use window existing build in program to "link" your database with the existing network or window program. Also you need to use pop-up function from clien/server network. Still confuse? You will get it over.
