Emailing function

Create a dialog box, with Field value refering to the email addresses (Say NewAddress) of checkbox type.

Then use MailSend function to refer to this field for mailing.

@DialogBox( "AddressForm"; [AutoHorzFit] : [AutoVertFit] ; "TITLE" );
@MailSend( NewAddress; ""; ""; "SUBJECT"; "Remark" ; ""; [IncludeDocLink] )

Does it accomplish your task ?

Do you want me to create a new form (AddressForm) with that field and put the button original form?

I just created the form (AddressForm) and put that email referencing field on it.  There are two problems:

First is that all individuals are checked and they can't be unchecked.  

The second is that, if you hit cancel on the dialog box the message is still sent.

How can the values on the dialog box be unchecked/checked by the user?

Samir

There is a correction. Default value for checkbox field should be nothing, it should be in the keyword formula.

Even after trying that, the values come up but they are all check and I can't uncheck certain values.  The form does pop up and also if I hit cancel the message is still sent.

Thanks

Zvo,

Your method does work.  The only thing is that I have to use the @command([filesave]) before adding the @mailsend function.

My mistake !

Here is the working code,

@DialogBox( "AddressForm"; [AutoHorzFit] : [AutoVertFit] ; "TITLE" );
@If( NewAddress = ""; @Return(""); "");

@MailSend( NewAddress; ""; ""; "SUBJECT"; "Remark" ; ""; [IncludeDoclink] ) ;
FIELD NewAddress := "";


Use someother name in the dialogbox, don't use the one in the form. It will be always be defaulting to the field value.

In my case, I had a form with field called address and newaddress keyword formula was address.

Hello Zvonko.

Hello Heman :)

your DialogBox looks surely more elegant and is more user friendly  than a simple Prompt.

So let us see what Samir prefers :)

Hemantha,

I tried your method but still not working.  Can you email me your database zipped?

Samir_6@hotmail.com

Send it tomorrow morning...cause of junk mail it might go through.

I do find your method easier for users but it is not functional and it seems my problem area is where it reads the field with multiple values.

Let me if you can and if i get it working i will decide then.

Thanks

Hemantha,

Thanks for sending me the file.

Works really good.

I will make my decison shortly....By middle of next week.

I turn 21 tomorrow so I will be wasted to come to work.

Samir

Wow, I din't know that you were so young. Have a great birthday.

You are the winner....Both did a wonderful job and the solutions were great but Zvo gets the points.

Sorry Hemantha.....

Samir

Thanks for the points Samir :)

But I still would wish that you explain why some solution does serve to your requirement more then others.
It is not fair opposite to my buddy expert Hemanth to play the arbiter as in a competition. His efforts has the right to be honored in correct way.

Do not take this as an attack to you Samir, it is more a recommendation between friends, ok!

As long as your last comment is to be understood as a joke than I am the last one to be offended by jokes.

☺zvonko

I do apologize if the statements or method of selecting the best response offends anyone.  The main reason for choosing your solution was timing and secondly the simplicity of the solution.  I did test out both solutions, and found that your method was sufficient and also easier to administrate.  The only advantage in using Hemanta’s solution was that it was more user friendly but in this scenario both solutions addressed user compatibility.  

I believe Hemantha, Zvo, and Arun are brilliant Notes programmer and that I really appreciate your help and support.  You are 100% correct in your response that it is my duty to give proper feedback on solutions and going forward I will communicate more efficiently.  Once again, I do apologize to anyone that feels my decision process is unfair but that is the “way I am” – Eminem.


Samir

Great feedback! Thanks :)

(... and forgive me, I am not easy to handle :)

I forgot; best wishes for your Birthday Samir!
