Inserting field data

[Mental]

Hi,

I have a little problem and I'm sure the solution is simple but I just can't figure it out. I want to generate emails to my clients and include their names, etc in the email. I'm not sure how to call the data from the field. If using a simple calculation I'd just put <> but that doesn't work if I just type it into a textbox. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Create a calc field, result text, that is the body of the email. So, it would be something like:

"Dear " & ClientName & "," &

& "This is the rest of email text. Your birthday is " & ClientBday & " we're offering..."

Get the idea?

That is a great way to do it. I'm not sure my clients will be able to figure it out. There is a pre-made database called email campaign management that comes with FM that does exactly what I want. You click the little tags on the left and it inserts a field call into your email. Not sure I'm explaining it right :
