I am having difficulty sending email using Outlook Express 5.02. I am using the following formula

"mailto:" & STDBNHGVencon::email & "?subject=" & subjectforemail & "?body=" & emailmsg Copy

The subject and body text both appear in the Subject field of the email msg.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are you using the Open URL script step or the Send Email script step? The calculation you give should work for Open URL.

Thanks for responding. I'm using the open url script.

Can you give an example of text that your calculation comes up with? Perhaps there is something in these fields that is causing the problem?

Well, here's what I did. I created a quick database with a text field URL and pasted in what you have above. Then I created a script called Email with a single step:

OpenURL [ No dialog, URL ]

It worked perfectly (except for the paragraph returns, see http://www.fmforums.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000001.html for an article on how to fix this).

In fact, the Web-to-HTTP function (see article) may fix the problem. But if not, I would try rebuilding the calculation from scratch, since I can't seem to find anything wrong with it.
