Is there a possibility to send a OLE-object in a mail?

[eisefr]

hello together..



does someone knows about a way to send a OLE-object in a email?

I generate emails with the macro.mail1 or macro.mailmany - application.



Now we have the case that it would be good if we could send a word-dokument trough a email.



Maybe someones did figure that out already?



greetings from Germany.

I have still 2 open tickets there.



1 for a problem with our database.

1 for that "focus out event"-problem



Since 3 days i didn't hear something anymore.



I thought i may could find a solution faster in a forum...

Maybe You can use Connect.It, I am not sure it should be done but as fas as I can see from the documentation Connect.It can at lease send attachments to SC. It is not clear if it can do it the other way also.

Yes it is a product from Peregrine.

Frank if you have access to Peregrine's support website you could actually download Connect.It if you don't want to wait.. And they would probably give you an auth code since you already purchased it.

Sorry guys, no way to attach a file to an e-mail, using standard ServiceCenter utilities that I am aware of. In the case of Connect.It, you can read directly from tables within SC, not just the eventout queue, but not blob data, as an attachment would be. Only text data is supported with Connect.It.



I did see a clever workaround for this once upon a time. On the form from which you want to send the e-mail, you can have a field that will store the path and filename of the file you want to attach. Then, create a custom output event type. Calling axces.write from format control subroutines, pass the contents of text field for the message in as string data, creating an output event that contains the address, subject, and text of the message as well as the attachment path and filename. Using the SCAuto SDK, code up a quick application in VB that will query the eventout queue for events matching your new type, pick up the event, attach the file, and send it on it's way. Naturally, the path to the file you want to send will have to be referenced from the perspective of the server, such as a share directory. This assumes a Windows-based server as well.



Might take a day or so to engineer, but it a viable workaround that shouldn't cause you any headaches.
