hi here is the example in power builder how to send a mail from with attachment

//example

mailSession mSes
mailReturnCode mRet

//

// Create a mail session
mSes = create mailSession
// Log on to the session
mRet = mSes.mailLogon()
IF mRet <> mailReturnSuccess! THEN
MessageBox("Mail", 'Logon failed.')
RETURN
END IF
// Populate the mailMessage structure
If dw_report.dataobject='dr_arc_card' then
mMsg.Subject = "Hello How are you" //+ "

mMsg.NoteText = 'This is the body of mail ' Auto Generated E-mail by the system'

mmsg.AttachmentFile[1].Filename='foot9.ico'
mmsg.AttachmentFile[1].Pathname='c:\'

mMsg.Recipient[1].name = 'gajender_99@hotmail.com'
mMsg.Recipient[2].name = 'gajender_99@yahoo.com'

// Send the mail
mRet = mSes.mailSend(mMsg)

IF mRet <> mailReturnSuccess! THEN

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the discussion on this topic.

I used the examples but was not able to send the attachment until I included the file name in the pathname as per the powerbuilder documentation.

mmsg.AttachmentFile[1].Filename='foot9.ico'
mmsg.AttachmentFile[1].Pathname='c:\foot9.ico'

Thanks again,

Paul
