February 10, 200620 yr Is there away I can combine text and "field" information in the body of an e-mail message, using the built in e-mail function in scripting? What I would like to do is something like: Dear "Field Name" Attached is your invoice number "field name". Thank for your continued Support. Steve ----------------------- Thanks for any help from the list. Steve
February 10, 200620 yr Newbies Hi, Steve, If you look at the step of defining the email button you can see that there is action under section Miscellaneous "Send mail". After you clicked on the "Specify" button you will see a window with several items: To, CC, BCC and etc. In the right part of every field there is a button. If you click the button you will see several options of defining the text in that field and here you can choose which field or calculation you should set.
February 10, 200620 yr Author I have used that button, but I don;t seem to be able to apply a combination of text I want and field results. I suspect I am just using incorrect syntax, but I can't find a reference to show me how to enter what I need. Thanks for the tip! Steve
February 10, 200620 yr Newbies The correct syntax is for example "Dear " & field_name. Try this! (the syntax is: "text..." & field_name or calculation "another text..." and so on.)
February 10, 200620 yr Author Thank you so much....I was typing and insteaf of the ampersand (&) symbol. That solves it. Steve
