Hmmmm, I had written another reply to the last message, but apparently I previewed and didn't save it. Oh well, that was hours ago and I have better news now.
FINALLY, I now have an e-mail program in place in my database.
Whether I have retrieved one record or a set of records, I can write and send an e-mail to only the record I am looking at.
If, on the other hand, I have retrieved 40 records, I can write my e-mail in the first record only and click on a button to "Send same e-mail to all retrieved records." I am told how many records would be modified (so that I can "escape" in case of an "accidental" click).
It may actually need a little "tweaking" once I discover "mistakes" the casual user might be prone to make, but for now, at least,
IT WOIKS!!!At present, I am left with two questions, one which was asked before.
1) Am I not getting a bcc because of a programming error on my part ... or is there still a problem with that feature in the last hot fix?
2) Is there a way, when executing @selecttree for mass update ... to avoid the user option of "Interactive" or "Continue"? It would be more "professional" not to have the user make that choice .... and I always want it run as "Continue."
I haven't considered a macro for that function, although it's possible (I guess) that it would work. But it would be much cleaner if it could be done through programming. Once again, if it is not currently available, I would like to see it as a program enhancement.
Once again, my
SINCERE THANKS & HEARTFELT APPRECIATION to each of you who have contributed so much to this request for help. Steve, I especially appreciate your recommendations and the way you pointed me in the right direction. (And I appreciate it just as much even though you wouldn't let me send you one - or, perhaps, a "few" - of my mass e-mails. lol)
