Newbies johnmcad Posted February 2, 2002 Newbies Share Posted February 2, 2002 Hi Forum, I'd like to send the result of a merge to a file. Even copying it to the clipboard would be a help. For example I've merged some names and addresses with a form letter now I want to email the letter to someone. How can I export the finished letter? Thanks in advance! jmc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Well, there's the Send Mail [ ] Script command... Also Export Records... And if those don't work, just click outside of any field (or use Go To Field [ ] in a script) and use Copy... Oh wait, I see -- you merged into some text you typed in Layout mode. Got it. You'll need to type or script that text into a field. A global field will do. So the script would be something like: Set Field [globalEmailText, "Dear " & Name & ",{P}{P}" & etc. -- {P} is the paragraph symbol.

Vaughan Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Not sure what you mean by "merge." It has no meaning in FileMaker Pro -- not like it does in say Ms Word where a data file and a letter form are "merged." Field data is displayed on layouts. If you want to build-up the text for a letter or e-mail message, use a calculation field: code: "Dear " & Firstnamefield & " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
