Sendmail with attachment

Hello gurus

Is it possible and if it is possible. How will I do it.
If there is one in the world who work with this.
Can i get a small example.

You can send me a mail to thomas_schmidt@eplus-online.de

Thanks for your effords

Thomas,

Doubt this will help, but you sounded quite desperate, so it's worth a try.

I wrote a Package in Forms 5, which sends mails through outlook, it allows to to do attachements and multiple recipients. I enclose the package just in case you are running the DB on NT or 2000 and this will work, you never know. I also enclose at the end an example of how to call it.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi m1l
this is a good note. I have don't say on which system our db runs. Unfortunaly our system runs under linux with the oracle enterprice edition 8.1.7.

But i will try my best to get a connection to the outlook server.
