Finding a file within a folder hierarchy and emailing it?
Right now we have an Access database that contains data
pertaining to spam that has been caught by our spam software. The spam software places data into this database automatically. What I'm setting up is a web page that has all these records created by the spam software, and I would like to be able to have users log onto a web page, and search through their caught messages, and if they see one that is not spam, and I want them to be able to "release" these messages from the server. The database has a field that gives the .msg filename (EXAMPLE: B0000000273.MSG). These files are not contained within one folder, but rather a series of folders. The 10,000 digit, or the 5th from the right, seems to specify what folder the message is placed into. See examples below. Example of folder hierarchy: ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- -->QUARANTINE |------>0000 --|------>B0000000273.MSG --|------>B0000000274.MSG |------>0001 --|------>B0000015118.MSG --|------>B0000019243.MSG |------>0002 --|------>B0000026784.MSG --|------>B0000028421.MSG ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- So what I need is a link on my page that will somehow pass the "B0000000273.MSG" to an email component, which will search the folder "QUARANTINE" for "B0000000273.MSG" and if it finds it, then attach it to an email, and send it the recipient specified in the same record in the Access database. I have to imagine that something like this has been done before, since I do not consider myself a visionary, as a matter of fact, I think of myself as quite the opposite. My current page: (CAUTION: Profane language ahead) URL Somebody please point me in the right direction, and remember, I'm completely new to ASP and VBscript web programming. I've got a bit of experience with CDONTS, but none with FSO, but I'll go along with whatever you tell me to do. Thanks, Matt |

You can check recursively through the directory tree using the FSO but it looks like you can easily predict the folder which will contain the required e-mail by checking the *nth character of the msg name. Once you have defined the folder name it shouldn't be too difficult to either attach the file to an e-mail or extract the content and send to the user using cdonts.
This may help with the e-mail? HTH.
