In the designer create a WFA form, with a listbox, and 3 buttons. Properties:
Form1 = 450, 255
Form1.name = form1
form1.text = "Test harness for sjm_tools"
Listbox.name = List1
List1.location = 10,10
list1.size = 300,200
Button1.Name = btnFilename
btnFilename.location = 315,10
btnFilename.size = 70,25
btnFilename.Text = File Name
Button2.Name = btnSendEmail
btnSendEmail.location = 315,41
btnSendEmail.size = 70,25
btnSendEmail.Text = Send Email
Button3.Name = btnWriteToErrorLog
btnWriteToErrorLog.location = 315,72
btnWriteToErrorLog.size = 70,25
btnWriteToErrorLog.Text = Error Log
Now open the form1.vb code file, copy and paste the following code into it.
