Attaching Files to E-Mail
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
In a previous tip, you learned how to send e-mail from ASP using the Collaboration Data Objects. Besides just sending plain text, you can also attach files to messages. The AttachFile method allows you to add a file to an outgoing e-mail message, as shown here:
Dim objMail ‘ As CDONTS.NewMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject(“CDONTS.NewMail”)
objMail.To = “destination@host.com”
objMail.From = “sender@host.com”
objMail.Subject = “Subject goes here”
objMail.Body = “The message goes here.”
objMail.AttachFile “C:\Autoexec.bat”, “Autoexec.bat”
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing
The first parameter is the actual pathname to the file. The second parameter is the name that will be shown with the attachment in the person’s e-mail. This is especially helpful if you have a long pathname or don’t want to show the user the original filename.
