FM Mail Script

[Tomo1]

When using the "Mail" script, is there anyway you can E-mail more then 1 field! Can you also use Microsoft Entourage as your Mail Application?

You need to create a calculation field as your "email field". Here is a basic example that assumes a salutation field and a body field need to be emailedL

Emailfield =

"Dear: " & namefield & "

Do you use the URL to mail from Outlook.

I use the open url command with "mailto:" and it works great in Entourage.

I'm also using the open URL command to mail to a list up to 150 adresses. So the "URL" is pretty long. With Outlook and Outlook Express, I usally don't have any problems, but with Netscape or Eudora, the URL will be cutted after about 150 characters. I'm working with Mac OS9.04 and 9.4, but also with Windows NT. Always the same.

anyone the same problems?

Does anyone have any sample scripts for a beginner ?

Have a button called 'Send Mail', Define the button to perform a script similar to this.

Insert Calculated result (you would create a validation field which all the text you wish to send in the e-mail)

Now add the 'send mail' function and define the validation field as the message field. You can now have a static e-mail address or define another e-mail address that the user will enter.

If you wish to send by E-mail more then 1 field, you need to prepare calculation field!
