File Edit, Save, Close & Compose Memo

Help! I have the following code written in an action toolbar button:

SendTo := Manager + ", "+Approver;

Subject := “Action: Request”;

tmp := @Command([EditMakeDocLink]);

@Command( [EditDocument] );

@Command (FIELD Requested_by :=@UserName);

@Command( [FileSave] );

@PostedCommand([MailComposeMemo]);

@PostedCommand([EditInsertText]; SendTo);

@PostedCommand([EditNextField]);

@PostedCommand([EditNextField]);

@PostedCommand([EditNextField]);

@PostedCommand([EditInsertText]; Subject);

@PostedCommand([EditNextField]);

@PostedCommand([EditInsertText]; “Please approve/deny the following request by clicking on the following link and selecting ‘Approve’ or ‘Deny’ once the document is open–>”);

@PostedCommand([EditPaste])

This seems to work perfectly for me, i.e., the e-mail composes, the other file closes and the Requested_By Field is populated appropriately. However, when other users use this button, their e-mail has all the code in the ‘SendTo’ field and they are also prompted to save the original document. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Wadi

Wadi,

You’re taking an overly complicated approach to a simple matter. If you need to set a few fields before exiting, then just set them…

FIELD SendTo := Manager + ", " + Approver;

FIELD Subject := “Action: Request”;

FIELD Requested_by := @UserName;

Save the doc…

@Command([FileSave]);

And if you need to send an e-mail, use @MailSend().

Ken,

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don’t want to use @MailSend because I want the author to be able to add notes to the e-mail they are sending.

I did try setting the field Requested_by and then saving the file, but when I look at the document properties, I don’t see the Requested_By field as being populated by the UserName. I wanted to use the contents of this field in a response action.

It seems as if the user that had everything appearing in the ‘SendTo’ field is an anomaly, i.e., all other users are seeing the same thing as me.

Any thoughts?
