Re: Text Limit

Title: Re: Text Limit

Jed,

Thnks. You're calling the handler RelatedRequest("dbName", "globalField")' as the third parameter of the handler Maillt. But RelatedRequest doesn't return anything that can be used as a parameter in Maillt. it just does things. What happens if you make two changes:

------------
set txt to my RelatedRequest("dbName", "globalField")
my MailIt("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "subject", txt )

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
    return txt
end RelatedRequest
-----------------

If there's still an error, where exactly does it occur?

(BTW, this list also handles HTML fine, and doesn't introduce artificial line endings when you paste scripts into it. You can reduce bandwidth by clicking the HTML button twice to convert to plain text then back to HTML to get rid of styling.)
