Problem with attaching files using MAPI in VB??

the app send an email message but it won't attach a file to the email. Here is the code I am using to attach the file.
I don't know if I am using this right or not.

Dim objSession As MAPI.Session
Dim objMessage As MAPI.Message

'create a message and fill in its properties
Set objMessage = objSession.Outbox.Messages.Add
objMessage.Subject = txtSubject.Text
objMessage.Text = txtMessage.Text
objMessage.Attachments.Add "C:\file.dat"

Hi ,

I think you should add the following code to your current code:

objMessage.Update

This is because you did something new to the current message

when I try and open the email doc I get the following error.

Can't Open this mail, the operation failed.

Clueless right know as to what the problem is

Can you be a little bit more specific?

objMessage.Attachments.Add "C:\file.dat"...is this the correct way?

i think it is like this..

objMessage.AttachmentIndex=0
objMessage.AttachmentName=somename 'as u wish
objMessage.AttachmentPathName=filepath
' if u want more

objMessage.AttachmentIndex=1
objMessage.AttachmentName=somename 'as u wish
objMessage.AttachmentPathName=filepath


Hope this helps

I tried the example but she still broken, except know I am getting a runtime error, 486 - object does'nt support this method....

If u want I will send u a sample application that does this.

Please Please

thanks

This will work ..I think...


With objMessage.Attachments.Add
.Position = 1
.Type = mapiFileData
.Name = Attach 'name of attachment
.ReadFromFile Attach 'pathname
End With

Try the above code. Thats working on my machine. If I send u the whole application u will be confused. I think this is what u want. However if u really want just mail me

what is the postion number for though???

Thats for setting where to put the attachment in the message. By the way is it working?

Thank,

The code worked like a dream, one question though
where can i get my hand on a mapi tutorial.

You could find it on MSDN. I got it from there.
