Hi,

I have created a form and xhen it is submitted, a PDF is automatically generated. I would like to add it to the created mail using the XDocument.UI.ShowMailItem function.

Note that automatically, the XML of the form is attached to this mail. If someone has a tip to remove it, I am also interested in it !!!

Regards,

Franck

Hi Franck,

For the 2nd question ... there is an "Attachment Name" setting in the e-mail data connection wizard that controls whether or not the xml form is attached. Just delete it.

For the 1st question ... neither ShowMailItem nor MailEnvelope allow specifying the attachment, so I think your best bet is to save the PDF to a share and add a link to it in the body of the sent e-mail. Good luck.

Hi Patrick,

For the 1st problem, the issue is that this mail is sent to supplier. Therefore a link is not the solution.
Tnanks for the tip about attachment name.

Franck

Hi Patrick,

Regarding the 2nd problem, as I didn't use the connection wizard, I don't where/how I can modify this property.
I didn't read something about that in JScript documentation.
Which object has the "Attachment Name" property ?

Regards,

Franck

I think Patrick was refering to a "Submit by email" button. It seems like you are submitting to e-mail manually via code - is this correct? To get where Patrick is talking about

1) Add a button
2) Double-click the button to open the properties
3) Choose Submit from the Action drop-down list
4) Click Define Action Properties
5) Choose the second radio button
6) Choose E-mail from the Submit to drop down
7) Click the Add button
8) At the bottom there is an Attachment name field - make sure that it is blank

Hope this helps!

You're right, Matt.
As some checks and computations are performed before sending email, I define a button where some JScript functions are defined and if all tests are OK, a :
objCommandBars = Application.ActiveWindow.CommandBars;
objSave = objCommandBars.FindControl(1,3);
objSave.Control.Execute();
is done (the XDocument::OnSaveRequest function is overriden)

Has someone a solution ?

Franck,

Sorry for the late response, I honestly don't know how you could do this very well. I did some googling and found this site where it looks like he did some trickery with creating an Outlook object and created an e-mail from a much simpler base. Check it out and I hope it helps!

Hi!

Is it possible to call this VB function from JScript ?
