Very Computer

I'm new to this NG and I need a little help. I'm sure this topic has been
discussed many times before so please don't flame me!  :-)

I'm using Filemaker 4.0v3 on a Mac running O/S 9.1. I've implemented the
"Send Mail Script Step", but when I run the script nothing happens?

Any pointers would sure be appreciated. I just know I must have overlooked
something stupid?

BTW... I'm trying to get the message to go to Eudora. It doesn't. The
Filemaker help file says I've got to be using Claris Emailer, Eudora Lite,
or Eudora Pro. Should I try to find "Eudora Lite"?

Have you specified Eudora as the default email application in the
Internet Preferences?

If I ever talk about switching to Windows, will someone please beat me with
a Windows for Dummies book till the urge passes?

You might want to try www.smtpit.com to send directly from Filemaker
avoiding any other mail client at all.

Yep, check the Internet Control Panel (at the bottom of the Email
section) to make sure you've got Eudora set as the default application.
Eudora definitely works with FileMaker 4.x - I know, I've had it
working before.   :o)

That did the trick! Thanks!

The script will work with Eudora Pro, Sponsored Mode or Lite on your
configuration, but you have to set Eudora as the mailto helper in the
Internet control panel  (used to be InternetConfig) >Advanced tab >Helper
Apps.
