Sending Attachments and the File Extension is Getting Changed
Keywords: zipper extender file extension changing virus software
Question:
Studio + Compiler, all latest versions. W2KI attach one zip file to an outgoing email. No problem
I attach one zip file and one batch file to an outgoing batch file.
Problem:
Extension on the batch file is changed to .z|3
It actually is changed on the file, and attached with the changed extension.
Very Important --->>> Subject line of these emails is also the variable I use to contain the attachment list, and the subject line of the emails correctly displays .bat.
Very very strange. Forces me to save as and change .z|3 to .bat every single time.
The problem is the changed extension on the batch file, which the code isn't doing.
Answer:
The problem is virus checking / firewall software that won't allow batch files, exe's, dll's, etc. to be received - it changes the extension to non-executable extensions.The solution is to temporarily disable any anti-virus software you may have running.
