Importing from Eudora or Outlook

[zigmund]

Help: We receive hundreds of inquiries daily from our web sites via a form. The client e-mail address is in the BODY COPY of the e-mail in position 6, not in FROM TO. Is there a way to automatically import it into FM or do we have to cut and paste every e-mail. IT'S DRIVING US NUTS.

THANK YOU

Couldn't you run a script to fix up the data?

I am not sure what is the problem is - but if data is coming and just in a wrong position - it can always be fixed by a script (as long as it is consistent)

Hi Zigmund!

Two places I have referenced parsing emails -- one is here on this site at the following thread: Parsing emails

Anyway, also John Osborne at http://www.databasepros.com/FMPro has an Extract Email demo file you can download which shows a script for handling your text field. Good luck to you!
