send e-mail

What's the best way to send a frontpage file via e-mail?

Hi Sandy,

Intrinsically FP does not support email attachment to send a file. You'll need to code to use CDOSYS or CDONTS in a ASP page.

In FrontPage, you can open the file and then choose Send
from the File menu. However, this sends *only* the one
file you selected. It doesn't send any pictures, style
sheets or other file that your page uses.

You can often get better results by:

1. Saving the file.
2. Publishing the file to your hosted Web server.
3. Using IE to browse the file on the hosted Web server.
4. Choosing File, Send, Page By Email...

However, even this won't always produce the results you
want. Mail readers simply can't do all the things a
browser can do.

To gain complete control when mailing a Web page, you have
to write an ASP or ASP.NET pages that does the job. If
you're ready for that step, browse:
