browse for email attachment

Featured Replies

I'm using the 'multiple emails (one for each record in found set)' in a script step. I need to be able to browse for an attachment to those emails.

What I really want to do is send the emails 'perform without dialog' but allow the user to attach the same document to each message.

Can I do that? Is there maybe a plugin to that effect?

You can have your users select the file and put it into a global container field. Then you can grab the path of the attachment from there to pass as part of your Send Mail script step.

BTW, if you are looking into plug-ins. My recommendation are the Troi plugins. They are excellent and Troi File does wonders.

OK, so I can use the 'insert file' step to find the file.

How do I 'grab the path of the attachment' from the container field and how and where do I pass it to the 'Send Mail' script step?

TIA

Before you go spending money on plug-ins, have you considered that FileMaker 8+ can pass the path of an attachment to an email?
