Hello,

When I assign a -mailsub to my e-mail being generated it keeps everything lowercase? Any solutions?

<input type="Hidden" name="-mailsub" value="Thank you">

Email Subject line spits out "thank you"

Thank you (or thank you)

Kent

Just to add to what I said before . . .

I tried the same process on another project and put everything in caps but everything was put in lowercase on the subject line.

What version Web Companion?

Web Companion 5.5v3

Sounds like a bug then. Have you contacted FileMaker Inc?

I will wait to see if anyone else can create this same problem. Could someone else try a quick e-mail test to see if you also get only lowercase letters in the subject line please.

Thank you

Kent

For what it's worth, -Mailsub is capitalising correctly for a FMP 4.0v3 system I have developed.

I went back to another machine with Filemaker 4 and it has no problems either so I think you are right, it might be a bug.

I tried it with FM5.5v2 and it has the 'added feature' of converting to lowercase.

All the best.

Thank you for checking Gary

Have a great day

FM probably changed that for geeks, which are typing everything in lowercase

lowercase is in uppercase out

Just a latent thought. What if you had a field which contained the text "Thank you." or "THANK YOU" or even "Thank YOU"? and for your value you cited that fmp field?

Good thought. . . . I already tried it. Actually this is the way I had it set up and I thought that might be the problem so then I went back to just putting in some basic text and it didn't work that way either. You didn't get it working did you?

Thanks

Kent

No. I didn't try to get it working. It was just a thought. Again, like other things, make sure that the right db/layout is being accessed. But you might want to consider using STMPit from the sponsors of these forums. They claim (and users aver) to have a useful email solution. Sometimes (often) it is economically realistic to give up some cash for a workable (and time saving) solution instead of reinventing the wheel.

I've not tried an email solution other than that provided by html as a contact as in Attn webmaster etc. And that is not close to what you are attempting.
