e-mail simple information

Re: e-mail simple information

Does it seem to be your e-mail program or AMS that does not like what you are trying to do. The only thing I saw that might cause troubles in the mailto code were some extra spaces that were not represented by %20. The spaces were around the word Giveaway. I have attached your code with those spaces removed. You may try the attached actions to see if they work any better. If it is your e-mail that is having problems I don't know what to tell ya except take the mailto code and do a Start | Run and past the mailto code into the open dialog box then hit OK to see if the problem still exists. Let me know.

Tig-
It was on my side! It worked even w/ the spaces. I'll use your code just in case. Thank buddy!

Re: e-mail simple information

is it possible to have linebreaks added in a set variable action?

Yes, in at least two ways.

Either use the #ASC_CR# and #ASC_LF# design-time constants...set one to 13, then the other to 10, and insert #ASC_CR##ASC_LF# wherever you want a newline.

Or, and this is about as easy as it gets: Just type it that way in the value field for the Set Value action -- i.e., press the Enter key.

Requisite example:

<IR_ACTIONS_LIST>
<Action name="Set Value">
<Type>6</Type>
<Function>0</Function>
<DTIndentLevel>0</DTIndentLevel>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<ErrorHandling>
<UserNotificationMode>2</UserNotificationMode>
<CustomErrorMessage/>
<OnErrorAction>0</OnErrorAction>
<JumpToLabel/>
</ErrorHandling>
<Variable>%a%</Variable>
<Value>Each
word
on
a
separate
line</Value>
<Evaluate>0</Evaluate>
</Action>
<Action name="Set Value">
<Type>6</Type>
<Function>0</Function>
<DTIndentLevel>0</DTIndentLevel>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<ErrorHandling>
<UserNotificationMode>2</UserNotificationMode>
<CustomErrorMessage/>
<OnErrorAction>0</OnErrorAction>
<JumpToLabel/>
</ErrorHandling>
<Variable>%b%</Variable>
<Value>"
" + "Can
also
be
done
in
an" + "
expression"</Value>
<Evaluate>1</Evaluate>
</Action>
<Action name="Message Box">
<Type>5</Type>
<Function>0</Function>
<DTIndentLevel>0</DTIndentLevel>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<ErrorHandling>
<UserNotificationMode>2</UserNotificationMode>
<CustomErrorMessage/>
<OnErrorAction>0</OnErrorAction>
<JumpToLabel/>
</ErrorHandling>
<DialogTitle>Example</DialogTitle>
<DialogMessage>%a%%b%</DialogMessage>
<Icon>3</Icon>
<Variable>%Result%</Variable>
<DialogType>0</DialogType>
<DefaultButton>0</DefaultButton>
</Action>
</IR_ACTIONS_LIST>

Re: e-mail simple information

Thanks, I was able to figure it out after playing with it. The problem I was running into is AMS will read it like that but when you try to use it in a mailto function it will still try to run the stuff together. even #ASC_CR##ASC_LF will not work, however in shipping it to a mail program I used %0D and %0A to do the linebreaks. That works.

Re: e-mail simple information

Can you show me? Don't write the whole code, just one line ie
?%address%?

Re: e-mail simple information

Here is what I did

%fulladdress% = Evaluate (%name% + ";;" + %addy1% + ";;" + %addy2% . . .)
%fulladdress2% = String.Replace ("%fulladdress%",";;","%0D%0A")

I but all the variable together and did a replace on the ;; with a %0D%0A to get it to work. You could also put the %0D%0a between the variables in the first string. I did it in two steps because I was trying to get it to work a couple of different ways. I hope this helps.
