Post Attachment problems Reply with quote

I am trying to use the MailSendWithAttachment command in a script and keep getting "An error occured while executing 24X7 script: Sending mail failed: Mail Return Attachment Not Found!." Here is my syntax
"MailSendWithAttachment( "microsoft outlook",,"jchapman@pdmi.com","test subject","test message" , file_name)"
I am storing the complete name of the file in a variable and tested the variable with the NotFileExists. The NotFileExists returns a False meaning that the file is found correct. I can do the MailSend command with no problem also..

First of all you have missed the password. If you don't want to supply a password just use an empty string instead like the following:
"MailSendWithAttachment( "microsoft outlook","","jchapman@pdmi.com","test subject","test message" , file_name)"

Because file_name is a variable name can you describe what is the value of this variable?

Sorry about that.
Here is the syntax with the file hard coded and the password = "", but it still doesn't seem to work.
MailSendWithAttachment( "microsoft outlook", "","justin.chapman@pdmi.com" , "test", "test", "C:\a1999-07-27.TXT" )
Thanks

Please try using short file name instead. May be your email system doesn't like long file names.

I changed the file from a1999-07-27.txt to a.txt and still nothing. Here is a list of things I have tried.
1: moved the file to the 24X7 directory
2: changed the "\" to "/"
3: used the absolute address "\\CONF_ROOM\Justin 0\a.txt"
4: used the relative address "\a.txt"

I am running Windows NT 4.0 pack 4 and Outlook 97. The message is "Mail Return Attachment Not Found". Why "Return"? I am wondering if Outlook is the problem?

Thanks

24x7 simply fills out several MAPI structures then pases them to MAPI (Windows messaging application program interface). Outlook 97 is a client program in this case just like 24x7 Scheduler. So this is the issue around MAPI version installed on your system. "Mail Return" part comes from the 24x7 (meaning "returned status"), "Attachment Not Found" comes from the MAPI.

I would sugest trying 24x7 v1.5 that will be released in a couple of days or so. It may update some of your system files with the newest versions and this way fix the problem.

Chears.
