Send Email Script

[RJJ]

Newbie to FMP. I have a small, simple DB, 4060 records and we used to use the Send Email Script to send out 800+ email from a found set (1487). Now it will hang up on any thing over 150 in the found set. It used to work when the number of records was at about 2000 if that is of any value. The script starts and then stops without putting an email into the Drafts folder of Entourage 2004.

I found that when sending large numbers of emails, and depending on your system and email software, it may help to add a 1 to 6 second pause in the script between emails. Filemaker often will run the script faster than some email program can handle.

Perhaps a lightweight e-mailer should be considered here:
