Blatt examples

Can anyone point me to some examples for using blatt with VFP? Also a
recommendation or two for a reasonable priced 3rd party smtp/pop3
library would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try:

http://www.tedroche.com/Present/2002/emailwooutlook.html

LOCAL lcMessage as String, ;

liResult as Integer && integer result code

DECLARE Integer Send IN BLAT.DLL string cMessage

lcMessage = "Message.txt -t tedroche@tedroche.com"

liResult = Send(lcMessage)

? liResult

I have used two different ones:

www.marshallsoft.com

and

www.west-wind.com

In a nutshell:

The west-wind tool kit is easier to use and has more features.

The marshallsoft tool kit is less expensive and has great technical support.

I started with the marshallsoft tool kit and it worked well for many of my
applications. I only switched to the west-wind tools when I started running
into limitations that I could work around. Since I'd rather maintain one set
of code I switched everything to the west-wind tools.

For plain simple stuff, however, I still recommend the marshallsoft tools
because it is so rare these days that you can just pick up the phone and
talk to the developer. With west-wind that is not an option. You are
depending on BBS / Newsgroup style support. It has usually been prompt and
accurate but picking up the phone and calling Mike at marshallsoft is much
quicker.
