<script language="javascript">
function SendAttach() {
    var theApp  //Reference to Outlook.Application 
    var theMailItem //Outlook.mailItem
    //Attach Files to the email
    var attach3 = "c:\\mail\\test.txt"
    //Construct the Email including To(address),subject,body
    //var recipient
    var subject = "Email Using JavaScript"
    var msg = "This is a test mail,sent to you using javascript by kushan thakershy"
    //Create a object of Outlook.Application
    try {
        var theApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
        var objNS = theApp.GetNameSpace('MAPI');
        var theMailItem = theApp.CreateItem(0) // value 0 = MailItem
        //Bind the variables with the email
        theMailItem.to = "[email protected]"
        theMailItem.Subject = (subject);
        theMailItem.Body = (msg);
        theMailItem.Attachments.add(attach3);
        theMailItem.display();

        //Show the mail before sending for review purpose
        //You can directly use the theMailItem.send() function
        //if you do not want to show the message.

    }
    catch (err) {
        alert("The following may have cause this error: \n" +
 "1. The Outlook express 2003 is not installed on the machine.\n" +
 "2. The msoutl.olb is not availabe at the location " +
 "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\msoutl.old on client's machine " +
 "due to bad installation of the office 2003." +
 "Re-Install office2003 with default settings.\n" +
 "3. The Initialize and Scripts ActiveX controls not marked as safe is not set to enable.")
        document.write("<a href=\"" + "./testemail.asp" + "\"" + ">" + "Go Back" + "</a>")
    }

}
