Send Mail - Specify Attachment

[ryankivi]

I've been reading this to try and diagnose my issue with specifying the file to attach.

 

http://www.filemaker.com/help/html/create_db.8.32.html#1030283

 

I have in my specify file this variable, and file path, and its not working.  So I'm confused as to where I am to set the variable.  If I remove the variable and hardcode the ordernumber it works fine.

 

$OrderNumber = 000000

filemac:/Machintosh HD/User/ryankivi/$OrderNumber/file.pdf

 

Can the order number be set within the "Specify File" dialog?

Try:

 

$PATH = "filemac:/Machintosh HD/User/ryankivi/" & OrderNumber & "/file.pdf"

 

Than on filepath location use:

 

$PATH

 

Good luck!
