Hello All,

I am running 16 user filePro ODBC on a Windows 2003 server.

I need a method of e-mailing from within filePro.

Can anyone give me a direction on how to start?

Thanks,
Steve Goodman

There are many ways of doing this on Unix/Linux systems, but I am not aware of anyone doing this on Windows.  (Though that doesn't mean it's not being done already.)

A quick Google on "windows console +smtp" (without quotes) brings up numerous Windows command-line utilities (ie: programs which could be accessed via filePro's SYSTEM command) to send e-mail.

Note: I have not used any of these, and I am not endorsing/recommending any particular program.

Here is a freeware program called "bmail" -- http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htm -- which sounds like it could do the job.  Simply send the message to a file and then use SYSTEM to e-mail that file.

Others can be found by searching http://www.google.com/search?&q=windows+console+%2Bsmtp
