Advanced Email Script for Multiple Attachments

[Matt Leach]

This is more of a is it possible type of question but i thought i may post it here to see how others may be doing it.

We have multiple "How-To" forms that we frequently email our clients upon request. Rather than having to manually create the email i would like to script this within filemaker.

What my original thought was is to create a separate tab within our database with a button to email each individual document.

While that will work, it will take up more screen real-estate as well as look cluttered.

Would it be possible to somehow have a list of all the documents available, possibly a checkbox list, and then have a user check of which document or documents they would like to email, then click a button that would attach the selected documents and send them?

This would seem much cleaner as far as looks and functionaluty, just wastnt sure how to go about something like that.

Anyone else have experience with something like this? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks

You will need a plug-in if you have multiple attachments. I would suggest 360Works.
