Maybe i am getting closer to solveing this

Run("blat.exe", "", "-serverSMTP" & $SMTPADD & "-s" & $SUBJECT & "-body" & $BODY & "-u" & $USERNAME & "-pw" & $PASSWORD & "-t" & $TO )

I just wish i could see what it is passing to the cmd line

like this

MsgBox(0,"Test", "-serverSMTP" & $SMTPADD & "-s" & $SUBJECT & "-body" & $BODY & "-u" & $USERNAME & "-pw" & $PASSWORD & "-t" & $TO)

EDIT: fixed

Its getting numbers instead of the strings

; example 1

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Email GUI App") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

If $msg = $CLOSE Then ExitLoop

If $msg = $SEND Then

Run("blat.exe", "", "-serverSMTP" & $SMTPADD & "-s" & $SUBJECT & "-body" & $BODY & "-u" & $USERNAME & "-pw" & $PASSWORD & "-t" & $TO )

MsgBox(0,"Test", "-serverSMTP" & $SMTPADD & "-s" & $SUBJECT & "-body" & $BODY & "-u" & $USERNAME & "-pw" & $PASSWORD & "-t" & $TO)

;this returns -serverSMTP4-s14-body-16-u6-pw8-t10

;When it should be blat.exe -serverSMTP somewhere.org -s Falcon -body Falcon Problem -u username -pw password -t someone@somewhere.com

EndIf

First you need to "READ" each input

like this

$Message = "-serverSMTP" & (GUICtrlRead($SMTPADD)) & ....

Run("blat.exe", "", $Message )

Run("blat.exe -serverSMTP """ & $SMTPADD & """ -s """ & $SUBJECT & """ -body """ & $BODY & """ -u """ & $USERNAME & """ -pw """ & $PASSWORD & """ -t """ & $TO & """")

extra space and quotes required to get the format used in blat.exe

i think

adding GUICtrlRead before each variables might help

i think

You can modify this also

;INIREAD ---------------------------------------------------

Dim $Ini = "guiemail.ini"
$SMTP = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "SMTP", "Not Found")
$UNAME = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "USERNAME", "Not Found")
$pword = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "PASSWORD", "Not Found")
$TOWHO = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "TO", "Not Found")
$FROMWHO = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "FROM", "Not Found")
$SUBWHO = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "SUBJECT", "Not Found")
$BODYWHO = IniRead($Ini, "section1", "BODY", "Not Found")

;INIREAD ---------------------------------------------------

you only need to say $Ini = .....

one time

$Message = "-serverSMTP" & (GUICtrlRead($SMTPADD)) & "-s" & (GUICtrlRead($SUBJECT)) & "-body" & (GUICtrlRead($BODY)) & "-u" & (GUICtrlRead($USERNAME)) & "-pw" & (GUICtrlRead($PASSWORD)) & "-t" & (GUICtrlRead($TO)) )

MsgBox(0,"Test11", $Message)

Run("blat.exe", "",$Message)

This i what i got from your post but i think i got it wrong

[Valuater]

try the "Double quotes" like DiskAI stated above...

and with the message box you should be able to see your spacing...

and the ini write above is the example

I think my problem now it the this

Run("blat.exe", "", $Message)

It does not seem to be attemping to Run Blat.exe and its in the directory..

[Valuater]

help states this

Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, flag[, standard_i/o_flag]]] )

Parameters

filename The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF) to run.

workingdir [optional] The working directory.

flag [optional] The "show" flag of the executed program:

@SW_HIDE = Hidden window

@SW_MINIMIZE = Minimized window

@SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximized window

standard_i/o_flag [optional] Provide a meaningful handle to one or more STD I/O streams of the child process.

1 ($STDIN_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDIN stream

2 ($STDOUT_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDOUT stream

4 ($STDERR_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDERR stream

so... maybe you need to do this

Run(@ScriptDir & "\blat.exe " & $Message)

i have never used blat

[herewasplato]

Edit: Valuater beat me to it....

I think that the syntax for Run has been in error for each of the posts to this thread thus far.

Run("blat.exe", "", $Message)

Run("filename", "workingdir", flag)

Try

Run("blat.exe " & $Message, "workingdir", flag)

or just

Run("blat.exe " & $Message)

Or maybe I don't understand what you are attempting....
