VB Script Issue

Ok, so I'm having an issue with VBScript that I cant seem to figure out. I have included it to view as an attachment. Back story: this script kicks off at 5am every morning and pulls the customer data from my SQL Database of customers for the previous day. It sends them out a "Thank You Email". The issue I'm having is that when the email gets sent, there is supposed to be an image on the top of the email, and on the bottom, (Titled "Header" and "Footer"). When the message gets sent to the customers, the image is included on the bottom of the message, but NOT the top. I've checked everything... from making sure its visible externally through the link, the syntax of the statement, and anything else that one could check on. I have got to be missing something. I'm looking for assistance as to what I'm doing wrong and why the image on the top of the message doesn't insert into the email, but the image on the bottom does.

All entries with "XXXX" is removed data for privacy but doesn't affect the language of the script to review for accuracy.

All Help is appreciated! Thank you!

I'd be curious if you flip-flopped the header and footer image references what would happen...I don't see anything that stands out in the code you've posed.

I wonder if it's a similar issue which I was having yesterday with a powershell script.

Essentially, the fix was to alter the html source to reference the content id of the image. Of course, I'm using .net mail references. Could you alter your code to use that?

Here's a reference article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdav_101/archive/2008/07/31/adding-inline-attachments-with-cdosy-and-system-net-mail.aspx

Hi

pls try with cid

' Place HTML contents (IMG tag) into the body
objEmail.BodyText = "<html><img src='cid:pic1'></html>"

' Embed image (add as attachment with Content-ID value set)
objEmail.AddAttachment "C:\images\header.jpg", ,"pic1"

Open in new window

Regards
