(Note: Platform is actually Win 7 64 bit)

Can I use Send Email when my default email client isn't a Microsoft product? I use a program called eM Client and get the "no email program associated" error message when trying to use this script step. (It worked fine several years ago when I was using FM 5 and Windows Mail).

Not having any luck associating eM Client in my control panel, as the only option is "E-mail program: Use my current e-mail program".

Thanks,

Karen

AFAIK the only Windows limitation on email clients is that they must be MAPI compliant

I see that you are using FM 10. You can configure the "Send Mail" step to use SMTP instead of a mail client.

I know, but doesn't that send it immediately? I need to make changes or add a file to some of them before they're sent. (I haven't any experience using just SMTP.)

Concerning change to the content, you can have a mail layout. Concerning the file, if it's an automated file, you can attach a file with a variable representing the path of the file.

Otherwise, I don't see any quick idea for the attachment. Maybe creating a child table called "attachments" to "mails".

"attachments" contains a container field. And when a person add an attachment, it calls a script to import the file to the container.

When the button "Send" is pressed, you export the attachments to FM temporary folder and attach those files to the mail.
