Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    When I had unknown problems with this (server vs local) it was because of my email profile. Remember (as said below), when the email is being fired from the server, you have to set the SERVER's email profile. If you are using the latest verison of the WAS, right click on the server icon and pick Email Settings. Then test.

    Also, try putting default values for ALL of the arguments for email_send(). At one point I found I had to use the following before it would work (note I have a False for the argument to include the email in the outbox, that seemed significant in my case - the server does not have an email client, hence no outbox). Actually, try this solution first.

    email_send("[email protected]","","","","","",.F.,"","","")

      Hi Steve

      Yes I've already set the email profile which I saved as the "default" profile in the server, and tested it several times. It fires and sends the email message every time during testing, it just won't send though the web form.

      I'll try your method and see what happens.

        Well I've been working on this problem for several weeks now and I still can't make it work.

        All I want to do is to send myself an email notification when someone hits the "Submit" button on one of my GRIDS. (Not a dialog) I assumed the correct place to insert the code on a grid would be the "Events - AfterUpdateRecords" section, but maybe that's not where I should be putting it.

        I tried Steve's example of using all defaults with the "email_send" code and still nothing happens. (See below)

        It should be noted that the default email handler has been set up and does send the test message correctly when pushing the "test" button.

        Here's what I'm trying and it's not working:

        HTML Code:
        email_send("[email protected]","","","","","",.F.,"","","")
        * The included pic shows where I'm placing the code.

        Does anyone know if I'm putting the code in the correct place, and what exactly is the correct code that I should be putting in? (It doesn't make any difference to me if "email_send()" or "email_send2() is used.)

        I simply want an email message sent to: [email protected], with a message that says "Form has data on it."

        Any help is appreciated. (I'm running out of hair to pull out!)

          I just sent you an email from a grid component using your code in the AfterUpdateRecords event. I was easily able to send an email to myself with this component. I have attached the component, which was built in AlphaSports. You can unzip it into a project in AlphaSports and test it.

          If you did not recieve the email, check for any blocked emails. It may have been marked as spam. If you did receive the email, but the component won't work on your server, then there is some issue with the email configuration on the server. Also, most spam filters block emails with the same send to and from address so if you are sending to yourself, it may get blocked.

            Yes I just got the email message from you. I'll look at the code and try it again tonight when I go back to work.

            Thanks Jerry.

              Jerry thanks a bunch for the info. The email notification is now working like a champ!

              I'm not sure why I couldn't get it to work for so long, but apparently I had something out of whack.

              Your code did the trick!

              Thanks again.

                If you look at the difference between your code and mine, you will see that my code is included in the "AfterUpdateRecords" function defintion. The AfterUpdateRecords event calls that function. In your code, you did not define the function, but replaced it with just xbasic. When the function call was made, there was no function, therefore the code didn't run.
