Another Email Question - Ive Searched but no luck

[dannyg]

I have a web based db that lists several items. I would like to be able to have the user send an email to me requesting more information on a particular record (item). How do I do this without entering more information into the database, specifically the user's email address. I know how to send emails form FMP 5.5 with a form etc. but I have always done that when adding a new record. I want the email to contain the FMP field for the item id, description, etc. Thank you in advance for the help.

Use:

<input type="text" name="-mailto" value="">

Hope this helps.

You need to have TXT file with all fields, which should be included in body of request.

You will call that from your email routine -- see CDML Reference.

And IMHO you can trigger that from -View link.

Thank you

I will give it a shot tomorrow and let you know.

I do have the .txt format file

Well no luck, so far. I have the form which returns the item id and description from the FMP db and then I want the person to enter thier name, phone, email and have all of this info sent to me in an email. I can get as far as receiving the email but it is blank. My mail format.txt file has the {FMP-FIELD: xxx] tags but I am not adding the name, phone, etc to any database. Am I trying something that can't be done or am I just on the wrong path?

You have to use the -edit or -new action. Are they there? Also FM WC cannot submit anything to the email until is posted that to database.
