Courtney Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Having recently upgraded our Outlook, we are now running into the error where the Send Mail script step causes Outlook and FileMaker to freeze. I found the suggestion to use the Open URL script step with mailto, but is there then any way to insert the value of database fields into the Subject or Body of the email?

Karend440 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Courtney, We had this issue also, I figured out it was because we had Outlook program as a 32 bit, and Filemaker as 64 bit. It was causing both of them to freeze up. I uninstalled the 64 bit Filemaker and reinstalled the 32 bit, and it was fine. I also could of upgraded Outlook to the 64, but I haven't tried it yet. This was freezing both when I had a script creating a PDF, and emailing it. Hope that helps! ? Karen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thank you for the responses. I found out that our office consistently uses Outlook 32 bit, so I will try the 32 bit FileMaker and hope that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
