Hi,

I have found some code on the Microsoft knowledge base that 'should' allow
me to send emails and attachments

However the code tries to use Outlook and i want it to use outlook Express

the line that selects outlook is

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

What do i use instead of Outlook.Application to get it to use Outlook
Express instead?

Thanks

Dave

You can find some code to send e-mail through Outlook Express in the
downloads section of the site designated in my signature line.
 
How do i find the downloads section?

You could click on

Home

or perhaps

Portfolio

or Contacts

or maybe

Donwloads?

Let me check ... yeppers ... "Downloads" works for me.

Sarcasm is great, but there are no links on http://ffdba.com/

I test on IE and Mozilla. I suppose there's a possibility that some older
browser or some cached page may not show the links. The links are manifested
as images are instantiated through Javascript. One of those conditions might
account for their being invisible.

Using Javascript to do things that can be done without scripting is
bloody stupid web page design.

I fully agree. Most use of javascript is to make a good
presentation, as compensation for a lack of content.

I suppose those who have javascript disabled will have to get their Outlook
Express code in some site with more content.
 
I for one would like to see you content but dispite having Java enabled
still cannot see you link

could you please post the url of your download page so i can get to it,

thanks

All of you go to your rooms, and DONT come out until you can act like polite
children !

Actually, I would disagree.

Javascript has several useful functions to do things client-side
that can't be done in any other way:

1. pop-up windows -- I'm not against requested pop-ups. The perfect
use of pop-ups is on Dell's site, where they use them for the "more
information" links.

2. form validation -- since I believe that you should validate data
as it's entered, it's better to do this client-side, rather than
sending a complete form's data back to the server for validation.

There are other uses.

But populating the user interface is not one of them. Using
Javascript for that is as bad as the increasing practice of using
Flash for navigation.

I'm not surprised that you'd take numerous reports of inability to
view your site as evidence of something wrong with the people
visiting it, rather than as proof that your site is poorly designed.

Of course, I have no interest in Outlook Express code, as I think
it's malpractice for any programmer or consultant to recommend to a
client that Outlook Express be used for anything at all.

Due to popular demand we removed the javascript today. Be sure to clear
your cache if you are going to look. But damn!, removing the javascript
didn't increase the amount of the content, nor its quality.
Error reports will be great and fully received!

I liked it better the other way, but the vocal minority seems to rule these
days.

Your associates have disappeared.

Pop-up windows where users have to click on something to open the
window does not require javascript. Plain old HTML is all that's
needed.

See http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/a.html for more
information, most notably the "TARGET" portion of the tag.

You are absolutely correct in saying that javascript has uses.
That takes nothing away from my comment. I see an awful lot of
awful javascript doing awfully useless things. I use Opera as my
primary browser, and if I have it report JS errors, I can't go
more than three or four sites before getting a slew of errors.

Requested popups good. Spam popups bad. And 9 out of every 10
popups I see are not requested.

data as it's entered, it's better to do this client-side,
rather than sending a complete form's data back to the server
for validation.

I'll buy this reason.
