Many thanks for both of u. nanomachine007 could u tell me how i can use this code in visual studio version 6? I am new to vb so i be happy if u tell me the steps to use this code and make .exe file and one a click of a button it sends the email and shows a confirmation massge.Thanks

to use the code i posted you have to create a gmail account and copy that code to your sub button click and replace youraccount@gmail.com by your gmail account and your password by your real gmail account password.
to create the file .exe go to microsoft visual studio 6.0 tool, click on package&deployment wizar, it will tell you the next step to make your exe file.
and for the confirm message in vb6 they have the statement to intercept the error >>> On Error goto and On Error Resume next, you can use
On Error goto 1
code to send mail here
message send mail success
exit sub
1:
message error here
me too i'm not really good in vb, i just can do some basic thing
loco maybe have more info about that, hey loco show him some trick

Thanks nanomachine007 i made it to work!! But now i want to know how i can send ip address and mac address of mechine with the email. Loco i hope u or any expert help me here.Thanks


myMail.TextBody="This is a message." ====> add ip address and mac address

to find the ip address of the machine that runs your app, it's not hard.
under your project add a winsock compoment and you can get it by calling winsock.localip, for MAC address, i dont know, i never try to get it, how is the utility to get MAC of other machine???? but I think loco know how to get maybe you have to wait he read you post

dam thing, someone try my code and send me a email, please replace my email as yours to do test.

nanomachine007 is it possible to send attachment using this code ? I be happy if u show me how.Thanks
