Looks fine, with the one exception that Walt noted. ebase transferred your message successfully to Outlook, so ebase doesn't have control over it anymore. Try the same procedure but make sure you have an address in the To: field. You can change the default that ebase pastes in there by running through the setup wizard (use the admin tab select Screen 2, and click the button for the Setup Wizard). >In e-base I conduct a 'query', pull up a found set. >I go to the 'output' window and select 'email'. >I get a dialogue box: ...Delete cc/ps values..? I hit 'yes'. >I get a dialogue box: ..Finished with replacement... I hit 'Ok'. >I get the ' Text creation methods' window. >I check the 'Create text from scratch' box.
