Hi all,

I am using the CDO library in order to create and send a mail with an attachment. After mail is sent, program deletes or moves the attachment file to another folder. My program works well (message is sent) except the following:

wrun32.exe keeps the attachment file locked and the program can't delete it or move it to another folder.

Although I am doing all the necessary DESTROY statements, the attachment file is actualy deleted or moved only when wrun32.exe terminates.

Is there any other way for creating and sending e-mail messages (except using an outlook object) ?

Thanks

I got these responses on a google query ... stackoverflow.com/.../unlock-file-after-sending-as-attachement-with-cdo ... and  ...weblog.west-wind.com/.../SmtpClient-and-Locked-File-Attachments .. this second one recommends calling the Dispose function to unlock the file. I hope one of these helps.

Here is another way to use CDO as a VBScript (which you call with CALL SYSTEM):

If you don't mind calling a Python script, it's relatively easy to send an email with an attachment without using the Outlook object.

Thank you all for your answers...

@shjerpe

I am aware of these articles but I can't find a dispose() definition in the CDO def file... I suppose DESTROY should do the same job as dispose()...

Ok, I will give them a look
