Hi Folks,
I'm seeking some insight into sending E-mail from VFP programs.
In the past, I've seen this done by dropping .BAT files containing MAPI commands
into a system folder, with the .BAT file sending another .txt file. There
wasn't a good way to track the success of the sending. It also doesn't seem to
work if you can't get access to MAPI processes (like, you don't have a server,
don't have Exchange, etc.). At least this is my understanding of the mechanism.
Today, I need to be able to generate a nifty, nicely-formatted HTML Email (with
logos, etc.), and send it, done by a VFP program. I'm not worried about the
generating, just the sending part.
I'm assuming that the old way would still work, and have heard of some virtual
printers that will do this.
Comments and/or experience on the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Brant Layton
