Hi,

I am having trouble emailing a file using the "E-mail" funktion.

The case is:

I have to find af file on a fileshare. When the file is found (file exist command) I have to e-mail the file. Not copy the text into the email. The file is found based on af Fileset.

Can anyone help?

&nbsp;

Best regards Gordon

Hi Gordon,

&nbsp;

How are you attaching the file to the email? Just tested it here with the latest version of Automise 3 and it works as expected, I've attached the project so you compare it to your project.

&nbsp;

Regards,

Paul.

Hej Poul,   
  
 It works as a charme. Did not know that you could use a variable to store the file in.   
  
 Thanks!   
  
 If I want the name of the file to be the subject in the e-mail - can I do that? I tried %file% and %fileset% but it uses the filepath of the fil. It is only the filename attatch that i want as Subject in the e-mail.   
  
 Best regard

Have a look at the Path Manipulation Action, you can use it to extract the filename to another variable.
