I would like to attach files to mails automatically.

Now, it is only possible to do it manually with the script step 'Send mail' in which you can select a certain file.

But I would like to do it based on a container of the record I want to mail.

Even better, based on a file path of that record.

Can't be done in version 7 (unless someone can think of an OS level workaround)

... You need to use a variable and those are only available in 8.

Thanks, Genx. I will migrate to FM 8 anyway.

So how is it done in 8?

You set the filepath as a global variable and then set the attachment as the variable. You can specify the filepath through numerous calcs or whatever you want really.

Thanks, I tried it and it works!

Set filewin:/$pad in the attachment dialog box.
