thanks so much. you trully rock. i am saying this before testing it. :

i am not sure how will this sound, but this also does not do it correctly. it only does one loop and sends email to the first 50 found after which stops.

thanks a lot. i believe it is time to test it : after testing this is what i found out - the script i have does NOT combine 50 recipients in each email, instead it sends single email to each recipient. anything wrong with what i have done?

can i just do that instead. i am not very advanced in filemaker so i am trying to keep it simple: when i run the script and it prepares the first email, i can just have the email message body copied and i can just paste it in the email body and then hit send. i do not know if i mention that i am using windows mail for my mail client. i know it sucks, but this is for now... this is the update: i am attaching a picture from my script, i think i am hitting my goal or very very close to it? can you confirm?

i undrstand what it is supposed to do and i am almost done making it in scriptmaker. two questions are that i have now are: when i run the script it opens my mail program with an empty letter, there are no recepients, and as you minght think i want them to be in the bcc field, not to be seen. is it supposed to do it like this? and the next question, i can get everything else by the scriptmakes except [No Dialog] now it pops out a dialog when i start the script and asks where to start the record and i put '1' to start from the beginning. then it pops another window with omit records and it is automatically filled with 50, so i guess this si to jump 50 records ahead. oh, and one more question, while it is going trought the database is filemaker supposed to show me the current record he is on, for example when i start the script - show record 1, after one loop, show record 50, etc. your help will be much appreciated.

no i will not use it for spaming. i know it is so bad and i hate when i receive. but one small question - what do i do with this code? do i copy/paste it somewhere and where? well, i am guessing not on a sticky note on the monitor, but a little more information will be helpful.

hello all, i would like to ask the following: when i use the send mail function in filemaker one mail for all people in the database (i have 10 000 entries) it does not work. when i send one by one, it works like a charm, but i have a limit of emails that i can send over my domain email. is there a way to specify the numebr of recipients, for example, 50 per email, so it will send first 50 entries one email, then the next 50 and so on and so forth.... please help me with this, i will be very grateful

dear community after two days of trying to figure out the question below i am writing with the hope of more information that the one i found online. i have filemaker pro 9 and business productivity kit that i get for free. the questionS are: 1/. i ahve added my record to the database. total of more than 4000 names 2/. i am tryign to email them and using the send email solution does not work with my windows mail (i am using vista ultimate) because after the first 80 or so emails the windows mail stops getting the rest of the emails. (i guess it does not liek the idea of stacking 5000 emails and wait) 3/. using the business productivity kit, i am not able to add to contacts to group nor i am able to add contacts to the email one by one. any suggestions?
