CDOSYS email attachment

[Gardy]

Hi all,

I have set up several forms on our companies intranet and an eamil routine using CDOSYS but now that I am testing it I have found that it will not work with attachments.

I have verified that the path is correct and that the variable is holding the correct data but I am being told that the specified path cannot be found. I suspect that this is trying to attach to the email from the server, rather than the client machine, so does anybody know how I would be able to correct this?

My code is as follows.

' Email Message Creation
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject = MsgSubject & " (" & ClientName & ")"
myMail.From = MsgFrom
myMail.To = MsgTo
myMail.HTMLBody = MsgBodyFull
IF str_pic1 <> "" THEN
myMail.AddAttachment str_pic1
END IF
IF str_pic2 <> "" THEN
myMail.AddAttachment str_pic2
END IF
IF str_pic3 <> "" THEN
myMail.AddAttachment str_pic3
END IF
IF str_pic4 <> "" THEN
myMail.AddAttachment str_pic4
END IF
IF str_pic5 <> "" THEN
myMail.AddAttachment str_pic5
END IF
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing

Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks.

Yes, of course. You can ONLY attach files that are on the server.

There is no possible way for the server to reach out and grab files from a client machine.

If it could, that would be a HUGE breach in security! Imagine CDO attaching your password files or your banking statements and sending them to the world.
