CDONTS - no attachments

[Jason Steeves]

I am using cdonts to send mail messages with an attachment. The problem I am
having is the messages are going through OK but the attachments are not
there. Any ideas? I have tried my code elsewhere and it looks
OK...........Jason

1) Show the code
2) where is the attachment stored? On the SERVER right?

It gets the attachment from a field, within the web form, that the user can
browse to the required file. I believe the files that the users need to
attach are on their individual computers. If I put
(trim(Request.Form("attachedfile"))) inplace for the subject it does return
the valid path to the file along with the file name ie: c:\jason.txt.

Thanks for any help you can provide............Jason

dim MailObj
set MailObj = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MailObj.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
MailObj.From = trim(Request.Form("txtOriginatorMailID"))
MailObj.AttachFile (trim(Request.Form("attachedfile")))
MailObj.Subject = "sending"
MailObj.Body = rstreg
MailObj.BodyFormat = 0
MailObj.MailFormat = 0
MailObj.Send
set MailObj = nothing

first off, the files for attachment have to be on the server, the cdonts (you
really should use CDO and not CDONTS also) is on the server, and it doesnt
have access to files on the client.

Secondly, try hardcoding one of the server files as the attachment file and
test.

And here is a pure ASP (i.e. no components) resource for letting the
user upload a file which is something that was unfortunately not built
into ASP:

The above free code has worked well for me and you can copy and paste
the code sample which is white on gray (what were they thinking?) or
just highlight it and it becomes black on white.
