VFP6: Using Blat

Author: Desmond Lloyd

Posted: 2012-02-07 13:46:18   Link

Have been using Blat out of an "older" VFP6 application for years now.

Been through several changes in email servers etc. no problems.

Corporate just changed our SMTP mail for copiers and the like,

copiers work. Blat DOES NOT get's a consistent error code 2, doesn't

like send or deny connection.

Anyone seen this before? Any other alternate command line mailers?

TIA,

Regards,

Desmond

Happens all the time. I support a vertical-niche app and customers and

their "network guys" switch services, and it's our fault that our app

doesn't work, of course. "We didn't do nuthin'" is always their

report, and in fact, there's a different authorization scheme, or

they've changed the "from" user name, or some other problem.

Blat is still one of the best tools out there. You might also consider

Rick Strahl's Client Tools ($$).

Try the debug switches (http://www.blat.net/examples/debug.html) and

see what you get.

VFP6: Using Blat Issue

Author: Desmond Lloyd

Posted: 2013-08-12 19:01:59   Link

Sheesh, am going nuts...

Have a VFP6 that sends out an email when certain conditions are met. Using

Blat the email sends fine. However I always build the body of the email and

then perform a strtofile(mem,filename). There are no errors but after

running a test on it the original text file is in place and was never

updated.

So then I checked for the existence of the file (of course it was there)

and tried deleting it and am getting an access denied. Tried going to

Windows Explorer and no joy there either. Until I exit VFP the file is

stuck.

Could some tell me how I could get the file to release, or at least update

properly....

Regards,

Desmond
