I have been successfully using CDO to send emails from within an app using a

Gmail account I set up for the purpose. I decided to use Blat instead after

all the comments here about how good it is :-). If I use my personal email

account parameters it works fine but as soon as I change it to the Gmail

parameters (which work with CDO) I get an error message 'File name (message

text) not given" OR "Bad argument given'

The code section setting out the parameters is:

*&* Create an object to use to hold the email parameters

loParam = CREATEOBJECT('custom')

*&* Add and populate the properties

WITH loParam

*&* From Address

.ADDPROPERTY('cFromAddress', 'myaccount@gmail.com')

*&* To Address - separate addresses with commas

.ADDPROPERTY('cTo', 'john@wessexcomputers.co.uk')

*&* CC Address - separate addresses with commas

.ADDPROPERTY('cCC', '')

*&* BCC Address - separate addresses with commas

.ADDPROPERTY('cBCC', 'john@wessexcomputers.co.uk')

*&* Subject

.ADDPROPERTY('cSubject', 'Test')

*&* Body

.ADDPROPERTY('cBody', 'test')

*&* HTML format

.AddProperty('lHTMLFormat', .F.) && set to plain text,

change to .T. to send HTML

*&* SMTP Server

.ADDPROPERTY('cSMTPServer', "smtp.gmail.com")

*&* Port

.AddProperty('nPort', 465)

*&* User name

.AddProperty('cUserName', 'myaccount@gmail.com') && SMTP

user name

*&* Password

.AddProperty('cPassword', 'mypassword') && SMTP password

*&* Attachments

*!* .ADDPROPERTY('aAttachment[1]', '')

*!* .aAttachment[1] = ThisForm.NewsLoc

*&* Priority

.AddProperty('nPriority', 0) && 1 = high, 0 =low

ENDWITH

I can send and receive from the Gmail account normally.

Any help gratefully received!

TIA
