Thank you for responding.

For some reason now on my website when I use the same code I had been using, it sends just the name of the attached file. I have to wonder if my website company caught the error and corrected it themselves.

Anyways...what I want done is working now.

Trying the code you gave me just gave me Security Errors, but again, thank you for responding.

Is there a way using ASP.net 2.0 and visual basic that a person can rename an attachment before it reaches the person your sending it to by email. For example, I want to send an email with an attachment from my website. I have been able to send an email with an attachment from a website successfully, but when I receive the email, the attachment not only has the original name of the file, but it also contains the name of the web path. For instance, if the file is Test.zip and it's located on a web server D:\Base\mywebname.com\TestFolder, then the zip file shows up in my email as: _Base_mywebname.com_TestFolder_Test.zip.

I do not want the path name to be viewable by the person who receives the attachment by email. Is there a way to keep the path from showing up in the final attachment file name?

Thanks in advance.

Heres another one - In ASP.NET 2.0 using VB also attaching a file like shown above

    Public Shared Function SendMail(ByVal strFrom As String, ByVal strTo As String, ByVal strSubject As String, ByVal strMessage As String) As Boolean
        Try
        Dim MySmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("Your SMTP Server")
        MySmtpClient.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("Your-username", "Your-password")
        Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(strFrom, strTo, strSubject, strMessage)
        msg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8
        msg.IsBodyHtml = True
        msg.Priority = Net.Mail.MailPriority.High

        'Add an Attachment
        Dim at As New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(Current.Server.MapPath("~/Uploaded/txt.doc"))
        msg.Attachments.Add(at)

        MySmtpClient.Send(msg)
        Return True

        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
        End Try
    End Function

Here is how I use to send e-mail from the web feedback form (the code is VB), and I am using server credentials:

Imports System.Net.Mail

Partial Class ContactsEnglish
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub send_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles send.Click
        If Page.IsValid() Then
            Dim mySmtpClient As New SmtpClient
            Dim myMail As New MailMessage
            Dim myFrom As New MailAddress(email.Text)
            Dim myTo As New MailAddress("recipients_email@server.com")
            myMail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
            myMail.To.Add(myTo)
            myMail.From = myFrom
            myMail.Subject = "Mail's subject goes here"
            myMail.Body = vbCrLf & "Country: " & country.Text & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Name: " & name.Text & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Phone number: " & phone.Text & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "E-mail: " & email.Text & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Inquiry: " & inquiry.Text
            mySmtpClient.Host = "www.YourMailServer.com"
            mySmtpClient.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("YourMail@server.com", "YourMailPassword", "www.YourMailServer.com")
            Try
                mySmtpClient.Send(myMail)
                lbl.Text = "Your message has been sent. Thank you !"
            Catch ex As Exception
                lbl.Text = "Sending failed !"
            End Try
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

P.S.

This mail will be sent in text format. The asp's controls that I am using are 5 text boxes, button send and validation controls for the requred field.

Hope it helps

Regards
