Send email with file attachment in CVI

[Christian007]

I would like to send automatically an email to an user, where the results of a test are attached as file. I used LabWindows CVI 5.0.1 and ActiveX will not work. I have tested to send the email by SMTP (SendMail), but it was only possible to send text in the message body. I didn't realised to attach the file. Also I have tried to use the "cmd /c start mailto:xxx@xxx.com?subject=text" command, but I didn't find a solution. May someone help me to find a solution to send an email with file attachment.

Good Morning .

The best option to send a mail is use the "CVI intenet toolkit".
There is in this toolkit an fp instrument to send a mail.

With this instrument is very easy send a mail with a flie.

This function send a mail
#define YOUR_SMTP_ SERVER "mailhost.terra.es"
#define TO_MAIL "f.bermejo.garapen@adegi.es"
#define FROM_MAIL "fb.Automation@terra.es"
#define SUBJECT "Es una prueba"
#define MESSAGE_TEXT "Es un mensaje de aviso de ciorrreo........."
int EnviarMensaje(void)
{
int error;

error = INET_SendMail(YOUR_SMTP_
SERVER,FROM_MAIL,TO_MAIL,SUBJECT,MESSAGE_TEXT,"c:\Analisis.doc");
if (error<0)
{
MessagePopup("AVISO","Error primero");
return 0;
}

return 1;

}


Best Regards,

Thank you for the answer and it will be sure an easy solution, but the email feature will be only a nice to have function in my program and it will be not possible to spend money on this. Are there any possibilities without updates or toolkits?

If you have LabVIEW you could see how the OGIC library does it:
http://openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OpenG+Internet+Connectivity+Tools

It handles attachments using base64 (MIME) encoding and
doesn't use any
ActiveX, just pure TCP. Should be easy to convert to C.
