send mail script

[bonitashar]

I implemented the send mail script into my database. It worked great until recently. Now it won't open Eudora and bring up the email to send. I haven't made any changes to Filemaker Pro 5 but I did update to Mac OS 6 and update Explorer. I can't imagine that made a difference but I don't know what happened. Can I fix it without buying a plug-in?

Most likely the update to Explorer has messed up the internet config setting for default email application.

If that is the case, you can fix it in OS 8.6 by going to the 'Internet' Control Panel, selecting the 'E-mail' tab and down near the bottom you will see the drop-down menu labelled Default E-mail Application:. If it ain't set to Eudora, that will be the problem, and if you change it back to Eudora you will be back to not needing a plug-in.
