fried & frustrated-MUST send email

[bob_bourassa]

The web has become SO polluted !!

enough ranting

I'm using the Send Mail script step

(Mac OS 9.2)

FMP launches Entourage & that's as far as it goes. No 'compose new message window' ...

what's wrong.

thanks

Bob,

I am not sure if you are using filemaker on the web, or just after email for mac from filemaker.

I will assume from filemaker

One option is the open URL script step.

Create a calculation field that creates the email details.

"mailto:" & email address

You can add subject to it as well.

"mailto:" & email field & "?subject=" & subject field.

then use the open url and specify as the calc field.

Another option is applescript it.

And look for Create Mail Example v5
