For email, I prefer to use a FM plug-in such as SMTPit from www.comm-unity.net. It doesn't require a separate mail application. You can implement a complete send and receive mail systems from within FM. -bd

Hi:

I have added a button on a layout for send email and it works on PC's but not on any of the macs. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting FMP 5.0 to launch OE 5-mac and pasting the email address in the TO: field of a new message window. Works flawless on a PC but not on mac??

Half mailed, half waiting....

Use the "Open URL" script step and use the "Mailto:" tag. It works on both MAC and PC and will use the user's default mail system. The drawbacK is: you can't automate adding attachments to the email message.

Thank you very much for that tip... I'll try it out.

Happy St. Patty's Day to you
