Hi,

I have an ASP.NET (C#) 2002 application. My client would like to be able to
click a link on one of the pages and have their default email client
(Outlook) open up a new message with a generated report attached to it.
Apparently mailto: doesn't allow this (for good reason!), so does anybody
have another suggestion.

Thanks, Jim
 
I think the closest you are going to get to implementing this is to use
mailto: and put a hyperlink in the body that links to the report on your
webpage.

There is only so much you can do from a webpage as I'm sure you know.
Programmer to Programmer, we're here to make pretty charts and graphs and
little cute ways to enter/edit information in a webpage, we're not here to
program for http://tinyurl.com/35m9n! Don't we wish we could tell our
clients that though!
 
Your solution is of course the one that I suggested to my clients, and which
was rejected. Does anybody have any other ideas?
