Right. Sorry about that...the script doesn't actually depend on the apps
being open, I just omitted that part of the code to make a heinously
unreadable block of text slightly less heinous. I wasn't sure the chevrons
would make it through the server...here's the script with chevrons:
--begin script
global emailApp, fmpApp
set emailApp to GetRightApp("OPIM")
set fmpApp to GetRightApp("FMP5")
my MailIt("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "subject", my RelatedRequest("dbName",
"globalField"))
-------handlers--------
to GetRightApp(appCode)
tell application "Finder" to set procID to (get first process whose
creator type is appCode)
set appName to procID as �class psn �
end GetRightApp
on RelatedRequest(zDB, outputField)
--64K of text in outputField
tell fmpApp to tell �class cDB � zDB to set txt to �class vlue� of
�class ccel� outputField
end RelatedRequest
to MailIt(zRecip, zSub, zCon)
tell emailApp
set outMess to make new �class outm� at �class cFld� "Outbox" with
properties {�class addr�:{�class addr�:zRecip, �class rtyp�:�constant
Erty!to �}, �class subj�:zSub, �class ctnt�:zCon}
�event mailsend� outMess
end tell
end MailIt
--end script
