Hi,
I have a mailing form where the details of a person can be entered & mailed. I am also using a file input where a text file can be sent through as attachment. The following code is used to send the mail and the attachment:

        attachmt=request.form("file1")
    response.write attachmt

    set mymail=server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
    mymail.Host = "localhost"
    mymail.From="[email protected]"
    mymail.AddAddress "[email protected]"
    mymail.Subject="Job Application"
    mymail.AddAttachment request.form("file1")
    mymail.Body=str & str2
    mymail.IsHTML = True
    mymail.Send


here str & str2 are the texts received as request.form from the mailing form and I have used a variable as well as directly accessed the attachment using request.form.

The following error is showing when I am trying to send the mail:

System cannot find the file specified.

Though I am attaching a file that exists in the system.

Kindly help me if there is any mistake in my syntax or if there is any better way to attach files and sent through mail.

What is the value that you see in request.form("file1")?

The value I see is:

C:\text2.txt

This is the file I am attaching to the mailing form

Where is the IIS hosted? And where is the C:\text2.txt present? Is that both on different systems?

Yes they are on different systems

Then the answer is "you cannot attach the file in your case." You can only attach the files that are from the webserver, provided you(here the IIS user) have enough permission to access that file. You cannot attach a file that is on a remote machine, in the view of the webserver. It is as simple as that.
