No email obviously means this doesn't work, which is why I said no automatic means above.

We actually have a menu bar option, "Report a bug", that opens a URL with a form were the users type the problem. The form creates an eMail that is forwarded to us. It works really nice: 30+ errors reported, but no error log attached!

I'm wondering if somebody knows how to attach a local file to a HTML form.
Or, the form can be a VFP form that locates the error log and send it along with the user's comments to the server via HTTP POST. I haven't done any direct internet stuff yet. Maybe using Rick Stranhl's libraries is a good way.
