Re: Can Blat be used when name of the attached file is unknown?

Thanks. 
That is doable. Still would prefer the text to appear in the message body though.
The POS application itself takes care that older printfiles will be deleted or moved to another directory, so this is nothing to worry about. 
I tried successfully to rename the original print file on the batch i use to call Blat. That's basically working, but in order to use it I'd love to be able to add a string for current Date in the Subject line.
