Hi Matt!
thanks for the advice on my email problem, but I think I need more info
on the MAPI thing.
I have Eudora 5.0 and there isn't any tool option. There are settings
options, but no tools. I looked in every sub category there and saw
nothing about MAPI.
Do you know if Netscape Communicator should work with Ebase?
I desperately need to figure this out!

Well, it just sends it out as a MAPI object, so you need to have a
MAPI-enabled email client or server running (or executable). If you
don't, Filemaker will not recognize the fact.
So you're saying that you've never gotten an email to work through
ebase? Sounds like an email client issue, not a Filemaker or ebase issue.
In that case, go into Eudora, click on Tools>Options, and scroll down to
MAPI. In the MAPI options, make sure the setting for "Use Eudora MAPI
server" is not set to "Never". The difference between "always" or
"While Eudora is running", is that "Always" will pop up Eudora if you
send an email from FMP, even if it's not already open. I'm using Eudora
v3, newer versions may have different lingo, but the setting options
should be more or less the same.
Let me know if this works.
