If they already use an e-mail client(outlook, outlook express, thunderbird) on their machines you can use something simple like this: launch 'mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' This will open a new e-mail message in their client with the To address and Subject filled out. Dan Goldberg
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Blocker Sent: Monday, September 22, 2008 12:49 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - MAPI Mail Problem Dear R:Base friends - I posted this question a week ago. It's possible someone sent me an answer but I never received it - for some reason I received no messages from the list for 2 days thereafter and then as mysteriously as it stopped, deliveries started again. So here it it again: I'm revisiting an application created some time ago in R:Base 7.5. I have a menu item that is supposed to allow the user of the application to send an email to me requesting help. This is the EEP that I wrote and worked at the time I created it: SET VAR vParameters TEXT = NULL SET VAR vQuote TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES')) SET VAR vDummy TEXT = 'vDummy' SET VAR vPipe TEXT = '|' SET VAR vTo TEXT = 'To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' SET VAR vSubject TEXT = 'Subject:Help SET VAR vParameters = + (.vQuote+.vDummy&.vPipe+.vTo&.vPipe+.vSubject+.vQuote) CLS PLUGIN MAPIMAIL2.RBL &vParameters CLEAR VAR vParameters, vQuote, vPipe, vTo, vSubject, vAttachments RETURN Running it under 7.6, I get first a Windows error message: "No profiles have been created. To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in the Control Panel." This is followed by the R:Base 7.6 error message: "MAPI: Login Failure: ErrorCode = 3". When I go to the icon in the Control panel, the only options there refer to MS Outlook, which is not my email application (I use Outlook Express and I'm sure other users who will use this application down the road cannot be assumed to use Outlook Express). I have tried using MAPIMAIL3 and 4 - no difference. I've been unable to find help on this issue under R:Base Help (MAPMAIL rbl's are not listed under PlugIns), Razzak's Sample applications web site or his "From the Edge" site. Can anyone direct me to the the right place to get help on this issue? Or provide a solution? David Blocker David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: 781-344-1920 Cell Phone: 339-206-0261
