Discussion
The TABLE.SEND() method sends a table via the current MAPI email client, or the built-in Alpha Anywhere email client. Note : To send a set, use the <SET>.SEND() method.
Example
This script will send a table to an email address. The table will be packed before it is sent. The dictionary and the indexes will be included. Because the table is in the database, the drive/path need not be specified.
to = "[email protected]" table.Send("prices",to,"C")
This script sends a table but first displays the dialog requesting user input.
table.Send("c:\mydata\customers","[email protected]","P")See Also
