asked on

e-mail ?

Let say I have some information like :
name, age, phone#, address.
After the user entered all the information and pressed "ok" button, then all the information will send to an e-mail address. Is that possible to do that in VB ?
My professor said no.

If yes, could you teach me how .

Thank a lot

what is winsock and where can I get it, mine is vb 4.0.
can you tell me how to use winsock, like how to install
Do you plan to do this across a domain running Exchange, or is it something more like a dial-up connection to a SMTP server?

Sender:
Can send e-mail with attached simple text-file.
Text file can be like this:
name: John
age: 25
phone: 1-11-111-111
address: SomeStreet 75, SomeCity 10000
-----------------
Receiver:
Files can be automaticaly downloaded to download directory, e.g. with Eudora
- so your program would watch this directory and see any "new" file,
Or, when email is manualy read, you can allow your users to drag and drop attachments on your application.
After reading and parsing this received small files, you can automatically save ~customer data, or prompt your user with form filled with data.
----------------
Let me know if you want any code, e.g. sending this txt attachments via Outlook Express.
I know the Winsock control ships with VB5 & VB6, but I've never had VB4. Does anyone else know where he can get the winsock control for VB4 32-bit (if he can at all)?
I believe that we had to purchase such a control at a job i had way back when i used vb 4...  i know we had one for vb 3, and we upgraded it to an OCX when 4 came out.
I have winsock.dll, can I use that ?
