Can't embed image into HTML Email VB5

Been trying Google for 2 days and can't get the code below to work.

I would rather save an image from one of the "Free Images" sites available on the WEB into a folder on my computer to insert into the Email rather than using a URL to the site that contains the image, but I can't get either method to work.

The image is in the Body of my Email but it doesn't show correctly. It just shows as an Icon(I guess), but the picture doesn't show. I get the Display Image message on the Email but no Picture. I also do not get my alt:'no pic' message.

I have 2 questions: Question 1: What is wrong with the URL code below??

& HtmlBodyFirstPart _
& "<p style='color:red;font-size:40px;'><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY!</strong></p>" _
& "<p></P><img src='http://www.w3schools.com/images/boat.gif' alt:'no pic'/>" _

Question 2: How would I go about Embeding a Picture from a folder on my computer??

thanks for the Help

1. There is no GIF at that URL.
2. It's alt="value".

I would highly suggest going through the HTML tutorial on W3Schools. You need to brush up just a touch.

Thanks for the response.

It's not brush up for me, it's learn for the first time!! I went back to W3Schools and reread the info on HTML.

Ok on the Alt.

Back to to the same question. Can I embed an image from a folder on my computer into an Email, and if so How??? Assume I have an image named "Frog" in Program Files. Could you give me the code for embeding this image. Also, will this image display correctly on the computer where the Email is received or will the Alt message display?

Thanks for your help

Sorry. Totally skipped right over question #2. There is only 1 way do attach one directly into an HTML e-mail...base64.

Code:

---

<img src="data:image/gif;base64,INSERT_BASE64_HERE" alt="" />

---

Now, you're going to need to convert the contents of any image data you want to display to base64. You can use this site to do that for you.

See if I did this correctly:

In your link to the base64 converter site:

I broused for the file names 644.gif located in my Program Files
I then selected "Encode the Source data to a base64 string"
I then selected "Output Export to a binary file filename=base64.bin" which I saved in my Program Files.

If this was correct, exactly how should the img instruction be be coded?

Thanks for your help!!

Don't export it to binary file...you want the text. That's why I gave you the code with "INSERT_BASE64_HERE".

See if I did this correctly:

In your link to the base64 converter site:

I broused for the file named 644.gif located in my Program Files
I then selected "Encode the Source data to a base64 string"
I then selected "Output Export to textbox(as string)

But what I got was about 2000 characters of what looks like garbage.
If this is correct, where do I put it and how do I get it into the instruction??

Thanks for your help!!

Once again...look at the code I already provided you. Follow the instructions..."Insert..."

I'm obviously missing something. The web site gives me a textbox(on their website) full of 2000 or so characters of data. I can copy this data and paste it somewhere, but how can I insert it??

4th time...

Code:

---

<img src="data:image/gif;base64,INSERT_BASE64_HERE" alt="" />

---

Thanks again for the help.

We are not communicating. I don't know what you mean with "insert_base64_here".

I have the base64 text copied onto the clipboard. How do I insert this clipboard data into the instruction? Remember, you have done this many time whereas I never have. Do I do it with VB code or do use some menu item?? I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks again!

What PeejAvery has very patiently informed you to do is copy the text generated from the website - the "2000 characters", and paste it into the IMG code he supplied to replace the highlighted text INSERT_BASE64_HERE.
That's just some placeholder text to show where the base 64 code needs to go.

Got it!! Thanks. I had tried that before but it looked so wierd and took up so much space I thought I was misunderstanding what he wanted me to do.

Here is the exact code I am using:

BirthdayMsgHtml = "<p style='color:red;font-size:40px;'><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY!</strong></p>" _
& "<img src='data:image/gif;base64,' alt='Image not available' />" _
& "<p>Just a short note to let you know how special you are to us, " _
& "and to wish you the best birthday ever.</p>" _
& "<p>Have a great day and know that we are wishing you well.</p>" _
& "<p>Again, <strong>Happy Birthday!</strong> We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.</p>"

When I paste the "massive base 64 text" into the instruction(immediately after the "base64,", I get a compile error of "Expected expression" at the end of the base64 text at my single quote point prior to the alt=.

I tried pasteing in a smaller image text and when I did I got a compile error Syntax error on the first line of the base64 text.

What am I doing wrong?

Then you must be copy/pasting incorrectly. Here's an example with the Google image...

The only difference I see is that I am using single quotes inside the src=. My line of code below.

& "<img src='data:image/gif;base64,' alt='Image not available' />" _

Could this be the problem?

Other than the fact that you don't have the actual base64 in there?!?

One thing I forgot to mention, make sure you change the mime type to match your image. In the example above, I changed it to PNG.

If you're using programming to generate this, check out this
http://support.jodohost.com/archive/...hp?t-7692.html
You need to provide a "CID" content id reference to the source image and then use the AddRelatedBodyPart property in order that it'll be attached to the email text.

I want to thank both of you for the massive help you have been!!

Since I am using CDO in my VB5 program to send the Email, the link to the CDO code looks very promising.

I have to finish another project now but will get back on this Wed or Thurs.

Will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for all of your help.
