Sending e-mails from VB

In Vb use can use MAPI object. The Mapi control will interact with the mailing system. If you are intrested I can send you a sample application. Let me know.

Thanks

You could try an API

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal
lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String,
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Const SW_NORMAL = 1

sURL = "mailto:ChuckyCheese@PP.com"

ShellExecute hwnd, "open", sURL, vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_NORMAL

Are you creating an application which you hope to distribute to many companies, or just a one-off?

Are the email addresses pre-validated?

Will you be using Windows 2000, NT or Win 9x?

The MAPI object doesn't work (I don't have Outlook installed). I was hoping to do this without requiring Outlook, and be able to run it on both Win 9x and 2000,.

It will probably be a one-off application, but nevertheless I prefer to keep it as general as possible.

I also need to be able to get feedback from the system about whether the addresses are valid etc. (Thats why I can't use Blat, which otherwise fits perfect)

If nothing else works I'll use the MAPI system with Outlook, but I don't like to depend on other applications.

Hi!

The first "Email" sends email optionally with attachments encoded as base64 and compatible with the MIME 1.0 protocol. The other "Upload" allows for uploading of files through a web browser. Both were developed for use with Active Server Pages, but could be adapted for other uses as well.

Sorry for taking so long before accepting the answer. I tried different solutions, but in the end I ended up with using Outlook, so I'll give you the credit for being first
