[archive] E-mailing a File built in Report Composer

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 22 March 2006]

Hello!
Is it possible to call Microsoft Outlook from a Cobol program and have it e-mail an html file built in Report Composer?

Yes, if you search the forum you should find examples using Microsoft Outlook via COM for this.

Note however; Microsoft has added security measures for Outlook so any attempt to do anything with email will raise a dialog asking for the current users approval to do so.
