  Hi,

  This can be done quite easily using the code posted at  http://xrmmatrix.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/creating-report-as-pdf-attachment-in.html

  The post uses reporting services to generate a pdf from within client side javascript - so you just need to change this to create a text file instead.

  Hi,

  In the code, rather than use:

   var params = getReportingSession();

  use 

   var params = "Insert your text file content here"

  
  

  Also, rather than the mime type of "application/json", use "text/plain"

  Everything else is there in the code.

  Hi,

  The mimetype should be "text/plain" and the file name should simply be Provider Route Information.txt without the full path. 

  Are you asking how to upload a file from the local file system - if so, then you'll need something like : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14446447/javascript-read-local-text-file

  Hi  scott Durow ,

  I changed as  you mentioned even the email attachemnt is not created.

  please check the code if any thing wrong.

                                                       

  function CreateEmailAttachment(actvid) {
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
                    var activitymimeattachment = Object();
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId = Object();
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.LogicalName = "email";
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.Id = actvid;
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectTypeCode = "email",
  
                    activitymimeattachment.Subject = "File Attachment";
  
                    //activitymimeattachment.Body = "Sample content";
  
                    //SaveAsFile();
                    var sample="Hello World";
                    activitymimeattachment.Body = sample;
                    activitymimeattachment.FileName = "Provider Route Information.txt";
  
                    //Attachment call
  
  
                    activitymimeattachment.MimeType = "text/plain";
  
  
                    SDK.JQuery.createRecord(activitymimeattachment, "ActivityMimeAttachment", ActivityMimeAttachmentCallBack, errorHandler);

  The problem is here the body of email attachment .If I remove the'  Body ' attribute of attachement .the attachment is creating ,but I am not able to write the contents to that attachement. please tell how can I write content

  thanks and regards

  Murali

  You are missing the step to base64 encode the text file - in the original code I pointed you at there is a function that base64 encodes the body.

  Hi Scott, Thanks for helping me.

  I used the base64encode function in Body still the contents are not visible  in that attachment . but the filesize showing 3 bytes . can you please correct this code.

  
                    var activitymimeattachment = Object();
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId = Object();
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.LogicalName = "email";
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectId.Id = actvid;
  
                    activitymimeattachment.ObjectTypeCode = "email",
  
                    activitymimeattachment.Subject = "File Attachment";
  
                  
  
            
  
                    var sample = new Array();
                    sample.push("sample");
                    sample.push("content");
                
                    activitymimeattachment.Body = encode64(sample);                    
                    activitymimeattachment.FileName = "RoundTripRouteFinder.txt";                                                                   
                    activitymimeattachment.MimeType = "text/plain";
  
                    SDK.JQuery.createRecord(activitymimeattachment, "ActivityMimeAttachment", function ActivityMimeAttachmentCallBack(result) { }, errorHandler);

  Thanks and regards
