Add e-mail to form and use to e-mail current record


 I need to be able to create an e-mail filed on the form, then create a button that when I click on it, it will pick the current form and e-mail it. I like to be able to get the e-mail from the e-mail filed or be able to modify it on the fly.

Thanks...

Are you wanting to email the contents of the form as text or as a PDF?

I unfortunately don't have an iPad to test with, and yes, it would be a separate question that perhaps someone else can answer.

Open your file, go the the Scripts menu, select Scriptmaker, create a new "empty" script, give it a name and then add the steps I listed.

You mean do I teach FileMaker or do I have a background in teaching? I did used to teach FileMaker (as well as QuarkXPress and Pagemaker years ago) and I also taught school for 4 years, worked for Outward Bound, taught swing and contra dance, and quite a few other things.
