hi,

I'm trying to make a change to DBMAN.

I would like to be able to forward (via email) the results of a View search (which is being displayed in the Short Form display). I already have the Short Form display implemented just fine; but now I'd like to email the results, so that the receiving party can review them.

Application: I would like to be able to select (by the View subroutine) all work orders identified as 'open', and forward the results to the appropriate shop.

TIA for any assistance!

I don't think it's possible to do exactly what you stated above, but what you can do is create a custom search form so that you can search for all 'open' entries.

Then you can create an option to print the results to a text file and have a link to download the file. You can setup what fields you want included within the text file for each record. See:


Output fields to a text file (sub html_printout)
