How to automatically initiate a dial-up connection from Lookout and send an attachment

Folks:
I am trying to send (as an attachment) a spreadsheet file via email.
How can I programatically (from Lookout) initiate the default dial-up,
send the email (and attachment) and after success (btw, how do I
measure this?), ... then close the dial-up connection.
I am using 6.0.1 running on XP Pro (SP2).
Thanks!
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Here are some documents that should get you started with setting up a dial-up modem in Lookout and sending an email:

If you need to dial a number you will use the pager object (take a look at the links from this page as well):

Check out the Lookout help on the mailer object.  There is an attachment data member that you will use to point it to the file you want to attach to the email.
Let me know if this helps at all.

  • Initiate a dial-up connection or detect whether I am connected to the net

    I want to initiate a dial-up connection from my java program and also to detect whether I am connected to the internet or not.

    well I am developing a proxy server and I want to add
    a feature of dial-up demand that detects the current
    connection status and if not connected to the net then
    call the dial-up dialers in dial-up networking folder
    and then connects to the internetI'd say it works like I wrote earlier:
    Keep yourself in the proxy-server the connections-status.
    If your proxy-server runs on a normal PC, it should be enough to try to connect to the internet.
    But do you need control over multiple dial-up dialers etc., this probably isn't enough.
    If I can find the time, I'll look into it.
    Maybe direct access to the modem is also an option.
    That depends on the modem of course and then you probably also need additional scripting. I guess that's not what you're looking for, but if you need info on that, it's probably also an option to look at a wvdial-script on Linux for connection to the internet. It might also be a problem if you have multiple channels for connecting onto the internet (cable,phone,ASDL etc.)

  • If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    It is an interesting option but I am not sure how it works. I disconnected the other party Wifi and 3G on the iPhone, iPad and computer. I sent the iMessage 15 minutes ago and it doesn't give the small foot print "delivered" but equally said I didn't get the RED exclamation mark on the right hand side of the message in BLUE. So we know that the message was sent but not delivered. I don't seem to have the option of sending by SMS when I tap on the BLUE message and hold.

  • Run dial-up connection from Java Program?

    Is there a way to run dial-up connection from a Java Program? It needs to platform independent.
    Thanks.
    Virum

    I very much doubt it, at least not platform independent. I had a, oops, heck of a time doing that from Visual Basic, where it is much easier to work with operating-system stuff like that than it is in Java. I finally ended up buying a RAS component to call from my VB program.

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

    var username:String = ExternalInterface.call ("findUserName");
    trace (username); // a quick test to see it in output

  • HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

    how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

    From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to  do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

  • How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    You need burn software which will author/encode the movie so it can be viewed using any DVD player - there is iDVD (still available as part of the retail 09 or 11 iLife disks at online resellers including ebay and Amazon) or Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free, but very basic).

    Hi Naldoo,
    Into installation of SAP BPC you are specifying for application server 3 names:
    Application Server Name
    External Application Server Name
    Virtual Name
    The third one is used in case if you are using NLB.
    The first one is the one using by "Connecting from Office"
    The second one is used by "Connecting outside of office"
    For this reason External name must be FQDN )Fully qualify name)
    Application Server name can be short name
    I hope this will help.
    Regards

  • I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    You do not move the albums - you move the entire iphoto library intake as a single entity
    Make sure your external drive is formatted Ma OS extended (journaled) - then
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    There is no way for anyone on this forum to assist you.  Apple will also not assist you.  If you purchased the device thru ebay, file a claim.  If you purchased it some other way, I'm sorry.  there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

    how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

    Hey okapi22,
    Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
    Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
    Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them.  Take a look at the following article:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
