Emailing a file???

[Notorious Lee]

Hi guys,

I am currently working on an intranet site for work & on the site is a section for various forms which need to be available for emailing to customers through outlook express.

At the moment you can click on a link which opens up the relevant form but ideally what I would like to do is to be able to right click on the link which will then give me the option to email of which once email is clicked Outlook Express opens with that particular file attached ready for emailing.

Is there anyway of doing this & if so can someone please point me in the right direction with regards to coding,etc?

Thanks in advance.

Without some kind of shell integration there wouldn't be a way of adding an option on the context menu of your browser to enable them to email the contents of a link.

What you could do though is create a HTML form on your intranet where people can select the form to be emailed, then type in the recipient/subject/body of the email and have the system email the form to the customer.

However that would be a lot of work when people only have to attach a file to an email.

Hi Spunky,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not too sure what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit more?
