No - only the source code is availiable for e-mails. You could always compile it yourself if you've got VS 2003.

You put them in the user plug-in directories. I dont have the INI file anymore, and no documentation was ever done for them. I may have the test program for the printing program though, which will help.

The easiest way would be to examine the source code, specifically the string table.

Everything before the first [% or % token is the key word (and thus is the bit thats used in DBPro)

Assuming you put the DLL in the plugins-user directory, it would be called like :

result=sendemail(param1$,param2$,param3$,param4$,param5$)

You would need to look at the source to find out what each of the parameters are - it appears that the source code for that is not even on my website...

I removed the ability to automatically send e-mails as it could be used for spamming people. Its easy enough to put in if you've got the code, and Visual Studio of some sort.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mapi/html/4cb46e35-cd8f-4c6a-9a10-2a3f63e84ecd.asp
I believe all it requires is the remove of the UI flag in the sendmail function.

Well, you usually use either Visual Studio if you've got the source code or try using notepad if you dont.

Or did you mean something different ?

You need to look at the string table, as I mentioned before.
If you dont have the string table, then you cant found out what commands were used.

Look at the end of the WIP thread for ION Ray IDE. I posted a freeware link to a program that will list the export string table.

there was one thing that it did not explan to me very well.
if the string table saids
initCamera[%DD%?initCamera@@YAKJ@Z%Initialise camera.

then what will the commard be in dark basic pro?
i have tryed it but could not get it to run.
i have worked out how to get all the others to work e.g. S would be string and I would be intager.

thanks for all your help
simon


edit: i am going to put this in another post because the name of this post is not getting me much help anymore

Quote: "initCamera[%DD%?initCamera@@YAKJ@Z%Initialise camera. "

Calls the C function initCamera@@YAKJ@Z, which DBPro sees as initCamera. It returns DWORD avlue and accepts one too.
