In A97, I used sendobject frequently. My default mail application when
I was developing in A97 up until July this year was netscape 4.x (yes, i
was a dinosaur and I know netscape 4.x was the bug that ate Sheboygan).
With my new PC and A2003, I'm using Netscape 7.2 (which other netscape
users tell me is much, much better than 4.x with respect to all sorts of
things).
However, my sendobject coding does not seem to be working with Netscape
messenger 7.2, my current default mail application.
Are there any issues with this? I really don't want to start developing
with a separate smtp mailer such as Blat, which I used successfully in
A97 developments. The reason is because I would usually have a routine
to check the user's registry (this was for win98 apps) for Blat and then
ask the user if they wanted to install Blat from a separate directory on
our server if it was not found. Then, for those familiar with Blat, you
have to have the body, to, subject, etc, come from files, so i would
have to write to an area that Blat could find. I'm not that confident
of doing this sort of thing in Win XP environment and would much prefer
to just use the sendObject action in Access itself.
Thanks in advance for any help!
