presley Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi, I am using FM 10 Send Mail. In the message box I have placed the following information: "Dear "&applicants::first&" "&applicants::last&",¶¶" & "Congratulations on your appointment as an ALC Elementary Nurse for Summer Session 2009. You will be working for the following program(s): " & applicants::SITE_ASSIGN1_NAME & applicants::SITE_ASSIGN2_NAME The applicants first-last fields are text fields and I am having no problems formatting a SPACE between them . The Applicant Site Assign fields are calculation fields and while I do see the field information when sending the email and I am having no luck trying to format 1SPACE between SITE_ASSIGN1 and SITE_ASSIGN2 .... How do I do that ? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Shouldn't it be...

Fenton Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well, the calculation you posted does not HAVE a space between them, whereas your first & " " & last does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presley Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi, You guys are genius ...that did the trick .... now ...How do I "slip" back into narrative text after the last field formatting SITE_ASSIGN2 i.e. SITE_ASSIGN2_NAME SometextSometextSometextometext What goes in-between the field SITE_ASSIGN and Sometext :? Thanks for your help and quick replies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 SITE_ASSIGN2_NAME & " some text " Basically any literal text should be in quotes... The '&' sign "connects" the fields, functions, and literal text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
