Hi Pat,

The following works fine for me:

MailItem.Attachments.Add("c:\mypath\myfile.txt")

Hope this helps,
Gavin...

>I don't know much about Outlook but I have managed to start it to send email and attach a file from within my FoxPro application. Is there a way to force Outlook to send the file as an attachment rather than imbed it as text within the message. It appears to imbed it automatically when the file has a "txt" extension but I don't want it to (and I'd like to keep the "txt" extension).
