Hello,

So I am a newbie here, and this might be an easy fix, but somebody told me once, when you get in a bind, consult the experts. I am running OSX 10.2 on my local machine, and 10.1.5 on the server. local machine has fmp 6 unlimited, and the server has 5.5 unlimited. I have built a type of registration system, that you go to a our site, login, and can register for classes. The form creates a new record in our request databse, then is supposed to generate an email, doesn't seenm to want ot work. I would like to have FM send a confrimation email to the person who registered, as well as the party that is admin. However it does not even send any mail, it does add a new record to the database though......

Here is the form code:

<FORM ACTION= "FMPro" METHOD= "post">

<div align="center">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-DB" VALUE="Registrations_.fp5">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" Name="-Lay" VALUE="request">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" Name="-Format" Value="wx_confirm.html">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Error" VALUE="wx_error.html">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Class_ID" VALUE="[FMP-FIELD: ClassID#]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="User_ID" VALUE="[FMP-Cookie: ID#]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Class Name" VALUE="[FMP-FIELD: Name]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Class Date" VALUE="[FMP-FIELD: Date]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailTo" VALUE="[email protected]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailCC" VALUE="[FMP-Cookie: emailID]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailBCC" VALUE="[email protected]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailFrom" VALUE="[FMP-Cookie: emailID]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailSub" VALUE="Registration Request for Class ID #[FMP-FIELD: ClassID#]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailFormat" VALUE="mail_format.txt">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-MailHost" VALUE="mail.server.org">

</div>

<p align="center">Click Here to sign up for Member's only classes</p>

<p align="center">

<label>

<input type="submit" name="-new" value="Member's Registration">

If you get to that page and view the source, are the replacement tags filling in the -mail tags properly? Check and see that the cookie is getting passed through.... If the from tag doesn't get filled out right, it won't send the email.

Also, ensure that the format file is in the proper directory level of the web folder (same as all the other web pages for this site).

We have found that with OS X/FM and mail a bug exists where the email addresses need to be in lowercase!

Good Luck.

Thanks guys, The cookie works and all the fields populate in the source as it should. And my email addresses are all in lower case. Still no luck, I think that
