Newbies tLuaVzn Posted August 24, 2015 Newbies Share Posted August 24, 2015 FM 14 Email issue... great to see an update recently to resolve the Unable to send Email. but... another seems to have resulted, uncertain at this stage where the problem might be... It's : when open a client within FM, and try to send them an email of account, it opens up a new email in Outlook 2010 Ok, all looking good... and if i send - it even sends! buT - I have 4 seconds to do so! if i want to edit the text for any reason.. add a few words... on the 5 second mark after the email opening, it comes up with an alert - image attached here. saying ; " This Action cannot be completed because the other Program is busy. choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem" showing buttons [Switch to...] & [Retry] neither of which remedy anything.. and I have to terminate Outlook. No Email issues with this in earlier versions - so must be FM issue... - I'll return to V13, till this is resolved : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgerDiekstra Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If you have to terminate Outlook, then I suspect Outlook would be the cause rather than FM. I've run into something similar a while ago using FMv13 with Outlook 2013 (Outlook 2010 worked fine). I resolved it by using a "Open URL" command with a mailto html link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"... you mean these fans?" Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Anymore info for this error ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies tLuaVzn Posted August 9, 2016 Author Newbies Share Posted August 9, 2016 Turned out to be: our version of Outlook is 32 bit Filemaker installed was 64 bit that happened because we were thinking in terms of the Op System being 64 bit. anyway.. uninstalled and reinstalled FM for 32 bit..... so all this was - was FM and Outlook version ( 64/32) being incompatible. !! pardon my not posting here.... I thought I had... but must'v been perhaps elsewhere hope this helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
