Getting FrontPage to pick an attachement and send

[Guest]

Hi,

I have hundreds if photographs on my computer and I wish to be able to
automate the sending of these images, one at a time, to visitors to the site.

I was hoping that there would be some way that the visitor could click on
the name of the building, then an email would be sent to me with a reference
already loaded in the subject line of body.

I am then presuming that I could somehow rig Outlook to pull the photgraph
of that reference off the computer and send it.

The images could evenutally run to thousands, and they are big files so I
thought that storing on the server was not really an option.

Is this a sensible way to approach this or should I be looking at another
method?

Hi,

Use ASP or PHP to implement using CDOSYS / CDONT.

Hi Mike
Thanks for that.

I am a newbe to FrontPage etc. Could you briefly explain your reply ie what
is CDOSY/CDONT and give an outline of how the produre works.

If you are pushed for time, can you recommend a site that I could get these
questions answered.
Many thanks
Adrian
