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

When this string comes out i would like it to have Double Quotes around each variable

so it would look like this.

$Message = -serverSMTP "smtp.somewhere.com" -s "TESTSUBJECT" -body "TESTBODY"

-u myuname -pw "mypassword" -t someone@somewhere.com -attach "c:\file.txt"

Does this work?

$var="test " & chr(34) & "thing" & chr(34)
MsgBox(4096,"",$var)

[u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote]

Thanks that worked good

You could also use single quotes to enclose the message, and use double quotes inside the single quotes.

Example:

$message = 'This is "' & 'my" ' & 'message.'
  MsgBox(0, "Test Message", $message)

Thanks,

Ian

Here's an approach using StringFormat():

Local $Skeleton = '-serverSMTP "%s" -s "%s" -body "%s" -u %s -pw "%s" -t %s -arrach "%s"'
$Message = StringFormat($Skeleton, GUICtrlRead($SMTPADD), GUICtrlRead($SUBJECT), GUICtrlRead($BODY), GUICtrlRead($USERNAME), GUICtrlRead($PASSWORD), GUICtrlRead($TO), GUICtrlRead($var))

Nice!

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
