Dear forum members,

With my AcuCorp AcuCobolGT runtime (v7, v8 and v9) I create email messages with attachments. These go directly to Outlook (through a generated outlook.def) and to bypass the warnings of Outlook I use a product called “Redemption”.

My question is the following, when I would switch to Visual Cobol (managed and / or unmanaged) is it necessary to still keep using Redemption, to not get the warning from Outlook, or can I just create and send emails from Cobol  through Outlook without getting the warning window?

With regards, Jaap

    I am not sure to which warning messages you are referring.

    Look at the following post where I provide an example Visual COBOL managed program which uses Outlook to send an e-mail message with an attachment.

    When I run this I get no warning message from Outlook.

    Sending e-mail through Outlook with Attachment

    Thanks.
