I'm using the send email script to send email to people. I have the database in multi-user and I am able to send email through Outlook using my computer, but when the other 2 people try to use the buton to send the mail, it doesn't do anything. Can they send also, or does it have to be done through my computer only.

What can I do to the script to let them also email from their computer???

Thank You.

you did not state whic os use are using. i run a network with two computers on cable connection. i am also using microsoft outlook on my xp's, i have outlook on both computers and the spipts will send my email on the second computer.

if you are using dial up you will have to have it also on both computers to work. i hope this will help

The send mail script step operates with the mail application you have set as default. When this is an application witch can't communicate, it will not work. For instance: MacOS X Mail (apple) Starts up but doesn't create a new message with the data from Filemaker. When I set Entourage (outlook from office) as the default mail client, it will create a message with the data from Filemaker.

There should be no problem when doing this on a network database (fm server), no matter what kind of connection is used. Each client should be possible to send mail from filemaker trough the send mail script step. Note that this is all done on an Apple computer!

Im using windows2000. Sorry.

I seem to understand one reply. Do I need to be running the Server versiong of Filemaker or can I share it with normal version for the sendmail script to work on all machines???

Thank you.

It does not require FM Server to work.

It seems to work intermittently. I actually had outlook coming out on client machine a couple of times, but out of the blue, it jsut didnt work the next time. Anyone have an answer?? Thnak You.

For Jeffer,

Tried it with Mac OS 10.2.6 and Mail 1.2.5 and it worked.

Hi Ernst,

I have seen it:) It was with 10.2.4 that it wouldn't work!

Let's see what 10.3 will give us to play with...
