Hi Jim, How do you avoid responding with a web page? Can you give a simple example for me to start with? For example, the first time they click the Confirm button in an email, we might still open a web page to give them some feedback. Then, they can decide they don't want the extra feedback of th

Hi Tim, Thanks for the info. That follows everything I've read so far. It seems to me that the action when the user clicks is dependent on the mail client, and that's the rub. Only basic web functions are going to be generally available. I'm doing something similar now regarding closing the brow

Put a button in an email that won't open a web page

2017-07-20 Thread Jim Hays via 4D_Tech
TL;DR: Click a button in a typical marketing email. It always opens a web page. Is there any way to have the button click send a message to a (web) server without having a web page open? Details: Send an email with a button in it. The recipient clicks the button to confirm an agreement. The 4D

tl;dr PDFs served by 4D v12 open in a new browser tab as expected from the same machine, and also from other machines on the LAN. When accessed from a machine in the DMZ, not on the LAN, we can navigate the site, but the PDFs don't come over. It seems like the OS firewall or WebRoot antivirus t

Hi Doug, We ship and use v12.6 on Windows 10. One problem 12.6 has that a 4Dlink file to the server won't remember name and password. (This is something we use for automated testing, so we run those tests with 12.5). Jim On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 6:48 PM, Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@
