Article PS02021986 The system cannot find the path specified error Problem Description When sending a message with AspEmail, the following error may be generated: Persits.MailSender.4 (0x800A0007) The system cannot find the path specified. Solution This error means the path to a file attachment or embedded image specified via AddAttachment or AddEmbeddedImage cannot be found. Make sure the path you are specifying exists on the server where AspEmail runs. Common mistakes: Client-side file paths are used. Some developers erroneously assume that AspEmail running on a web server can attach a file located on a user's machine. For AspEmail to attach a client file, the file must first be uploaded to the server where AspEmail is running. You may use the AspUpload component to capture files uploaded with a browser. An empty argument is passed as a file path. If a message needs to be sent WITHOUT an attachment, some developers still call the method AddAttachment with an empty argument, as follows: ' Incorrect! Mail.AddAttachment "" AddAddress must not be called at all if you do not need to send an attachment. Mapped drives are used. If a file to be attached is located on a mapped drive, you may not always use the mapped drive's letter in your path, as AspEmail may not run in the context of a user account for which the mapping is made. If a remote file needs to be attached, use UNC paths, such as: Mail.AddAttachment "\\server\share\path\file.ext" Created: 2/19/2002 11:17:48 PM Last Modified: 2/19/2002 11:17:48 PM Copyright © Persits Software, Inc. 1998 - 2023 For technical support, write to support@persits.com.
