Hello,

I want to dynamicaly create a HTML page/file and then send it as an attachment using
ASPMail. Can it be done.

Let's use this example

Code:

strbody = "<html>"
strbody = strbody & "<body>"
strbody = strbody & "<p>Testing, testing 123</p>"
strbody = strbody & "</body>"
strbody = strbody & "</html>"

This, I now want to send as an attachment called "test.html"

Can this be done??

Thanks,
T

I'm not too sure what ASPMail is, but I cheated when I needed tihs done :

Code:

strbody = "<html>"
strbody = strbody & "<body>"
strbody = strbody & "<p>Testing, testing 123</p>"
strbody = strbody & "</body>"
strbody = strbody & "</html>"

Open "C:\TempInternetFile.htm" for output as #1
'creates a htm file on your pc
print #1, strbody
Close #1

Send Mail with ASPMail here ...

Kill "C:\TempInternetFile.htm"

I used Outlook when I did this, so for the sending / attaching part you're after this I can't help with ...

Thanks Alex,

I know that this code works in VB, but does it work in ASP.

Code:

<%

strbody = "<html>" 
strbody = strbody & "<body>" 
strbody = strbody & "<p>Testing, testing 123</p>" 
strbody = strbody & "</body>" 
strbody = strbody & "</html>" 

Open "C:\TempInternetFile.htm" for output as #1 
'creates a htm file on your pc 
print #1, strbody 
Close #1 

Send Mail with ASPMail here ... 

Kill "C:\TempInternetFile.htm" 


%>

I get this error...

Open "C:\TempInternetFile.htm" for output as #1
-------------------------------^

Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks,
T

It works in vbs, but have just tried in asp & can't for the life of me figure why this is the case.

Take a look at the FileSystemObject as a workaround as you can create text files and write to them via this.

Bloody confusing though !

Thanks, I'll try and figure it out.

the 2 methods you're gonna need to look at are :

Code:

Dim Fso As New FileSystemObject

Fso.CreateTextFile "C:\TempInternetFile.htm"
Fso.OpenTextFile "C:\TempInternetFile.htm"
