hi everybody,

I'd like to ask for information on how can you attach a file to an e-mail, 

which should be sent in ASP....

Also, is it possible to run a .bat file on the server? like I have to 

generate automaticaly a license file from the users given information and 

then e-mail it to him (can I actually store the generated file in an Acces 

database? like in a memo field and create a temporary file to attach to 

the mail and delete it later on?)

well, that's all, i know it is kind of a lot, sorry for that... but if you 

could just send me a link of a _GOOD_ tutorial, that's also perfect :)

please, if you write, send a copy of your mail to pjotr_a@f... 

too, 'cos my normal address doesn't work right now :(



 thanx a lot,



    peter



PS: Is there such a thing as a downloadable ASP reference? with all the 

objects, its methods, etc....?

YOu could use the File System Object to write a text file to the hard disk,

and then attach the text file.



http://www.adopenstatic.com/resources/guide/gettingstarted/links.asp

has link to VBScript and JScript references, plus somewhere for you to

download the Platform SDK (which contains the ADO documentation).



If you want an ASP reference, look at your IIS Help virtual folder in your

webserver on your machine.



Cheers

Ken

Look into using CDO it comes with Win2k and if NT4.0, use CDONTS.

thanx a lot, Ken!



   peter

thanx a lot, I found CDNOT really useful, but i have a problem.

I don't simply want to mail the file,, but it has to be a personally 

generated license file, which is rendered based on the data from a 

database, so i just want to store it temporarly on the server then delete 

it.

problem: i don't have the right to createText file and also I can't open 

the file (i made it on my local machine and uploaded to the server and i 

cannot even open it) somebody about filehandling knows sg.?



thanx, peter



------ CODE -------------------

<html>

<head>

<title>Create file</title>

</head>

<% set FSO = Server.CreateObject("scripting.FileSystemObject") %>

<%

 If Request.Form("txt") <> "" Then

  set myFile = FSO.CreateTextFile("test.txt", true, false)

  myFile.Write(Request.Form("txt"))

  myFile.Close

  set myFile = Nothing

 End if

%>

<body>

<form name=tst action=text.asp method=post>

<textarea name=txt cols=40 rows=10>

<%

 If (FSO.FileExists("test.txt"))=true Then

  Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8



  set f = FSO.GetFile("test.txt")

  set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, -2)

  Do While not ts.AtEndOfStream

       myText = myText & ts.ReadLine & vbCrLf

  Loop

 Response.Write(myText)

%>

<% Else %>

write your text here to create a new 

file called test.txt!

<%  End If %>

</textarea>

<input type=submit value="Save test.txt!">

</form>

</body>

</html>



it was my test, but it didn't work - ithink that the writing part is OK, 

just i don't have the permissions for that  :( what's wrong with reading?

Why not create the file in memory and send it to a STREAM object, and 

then include that stream object as the attachement to the email?
