email script - 2 problems

[moodymo]

I am having trouble 1. scripting to automatically attach multiple attachments, I see it gives option to select several files, but does not attach all files selected within the scriipt. 2. I would like to create an email script where it grabs the file in a container field and attaches it to the email.

Any help most appreciated! [color:"brown"]

1. I don't think the send mail script step supports multiple attachements.

2. You will have to export the contents of the container field to a constant name and path that the send mail script will attach. Just put the export step before the mail step.

For more flexibility with attachments as well as much better email automation, check out SMTPit or another similar mail plugin like Dacons mail.it

FM7 has a serious bug (see post on importing records) whenever a script step has a specify file button. FM calls the reference to the file an "unnamed reference" and results are wacky. All FM documentation -- and the "specify file" dialog -- say you can attach multiple files. You can't. Documentation also says that the import records script step works in network environment. It doesn't.

Also, when you export the container contents, be sure it's to a local relative path, or FM may not be able to locate it (even though documentation says it should).
