Another Email Question

[davidwdf]

OK, I've looked @ all the email questions. My delima is, I have a form which ask for email address and when the submite button is clicked I want it to send an email to the person that filled the form out. I found one item here that used a re-direct, <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content = " 3;

URL=FMPro?-db=uwprojcare.fp5&-lay=layout#1&-format=reply.htm&-mailto=[FMP-field:NotesName]&-mailfrom=UW&-mailsub=Thanks&[email protected]&-mailformat=mail.txt&-recid=[FMP-Currentrecid]&-Find">. When I try this I get an error code 4, which means "Command is unknown". I'm lost, can anyone help me?

thanks

David

You can simply use an add form and perform a script that send an email with the email field.

But running FM scripts from a web page is not recommended by some of the top developers in this forum, have a search for this, you'll see issues that a lot of developers have come accross by doing this.

Have a look at this thread especially Anatoli's post which gives some code to enable you to do this wothout the use of scripts. This will help you achieve your request.

You can also that running FMP with webcompagnon is not realyy secure to (you can select any database you want with raw format)

And the other solution is to use an hidden form submited by a javascript (that will show a security message) or using a server side langage (lasso, jsp, php)
