I looked over their site, and it appears they do have a user forum. Perhaps you could get help from someone familiar with the product's scriptability in that forum. You may have to get your feet wet with a little AppleScript knowledge if you wanted to direct your question to a mailing list or forum geared towards AppleScript. On Apple's discussion forums, (<http://discussions.info.apple.com/>) they have an AppleScript forum. There are also AS mailing lists if you are interested. I use FileMaker Pro too extensively to start from scratch with another database/information management application, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be of much help. My knowledge of AppleScript is usually just enough to get the job done. (I'm still struggling with what to do with the HTML messages I receive in PowerMail. With Emailer, the HTML was always a separate attachment, so I could easily stash the file with an AppleScript and insert just the path to the file in a FMPro field. So, I've turned my attention to working on the FMPro interface a little bit more while I decide how to tackle this hurdle with the tools I have available. I don't get enough HTML messages that are worth keeping to stress over it too much while considering whether to switch to Apple's Mail.app when I get Panther because I heard AS support has been improved.) I imagine there are PowerMail users who could help with the PM side of the AppleScripts to get you started if you wanted to undertake a completely custom solution by doing it yourself. cheshirekat
