Filemaker Developer Sending Email

[jeffers1970]

Hey all...I am using FileMaker Devekioer v6 to create a research collection database that is being distributed to some childcare facilities. They will enter their information and then send a copy of the database to us every month using the send email script. The problem is that I have only gotten the send email script to work about half the time, depending on the computer, operating system, etc. What can I do to ensure that the send email script will work for everyone, bearing in mind that most of the centers that we are working with have $0 to upgrade their operating systems and email systems, etc.

I need something that will work with the database once I have turned it into a Filemaker Solution database also.

Please help. I have been working on this database for MONTHS now and this is the only piece holding us up from distribution.

Thanks,

Jeffers

Have you tried using the Open URL script step and specifying a mailto instead of the Send Mail step?
