Re : outlook activex attachments

[jcmb]

hello

does anybody knows how can we send emails with attachments using outlook express with activex control (using labview)?

I can send emails with no attachment but I can't find a way to attach a (single) file.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can found on the link below an example to do control outlook with LV.

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3708

I have modify this example to add attachments functionnality (see my VI attach on this post)

But you have easier ways:

• Does your email server require authentication? If not, you can use the built-in LabVIEW functions in the SMTP palette.
• Use the Internet Toolkit (though you need to buy this).
• You can use the .NET libraries.
• You can use the OpenG SMTP libraries. You can get a modified version that meets the no-linefeed-only-lines rule from this thread.

You can found on this post more details :

Now I wonder where I heard all that before?

Your posted VI has a fundamental dataflow error. There is no dataflow dependency between the Send invoke node and adding the attachment, thus the email can be sent without attachments! Seeing as you have a blue bar implies you're from NI, which makes it all that more surprising that you would make that error.

It's right, i have follow to wire the error input and outpout for the dataflow and do the attachment before sending the email.

i have modify the VI and add it to this post, Thanks smercurio_fc.

Yes i have copy that you have write, and i have add the link to your good response.

Well, while I'm humbled to be quoted, in the future, when actually quoting someone else word-for-word it's polite to indicate that you're actually quoting someone else's words. Yes, you provided the link, but that's not the same, especially since the bullets are in a block of text that's part of your response.
