Hi!
I am using ASPRunner 6.1.
I would like to ask if it's possible to get a field value from another table when sending an email.
If I am sending email from the Add page of Table 1 and I would like to get some field value from Table 2, would it be possible?
I've tried inserting a record from Table 2 to Table 1 and it worked. However, the value was only captured in the List table. If my questin above is not possible, how can I insert the value from List page to Add page?
Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
here is a sample:

set rstmp = dal.Table("Table2").Query("FieldName2=" & values("FieldName1"),"")

msg = msg & "FieldName: " & rstmp("FieldName2") & vbcrlf

rstmp.Close:set rstmp = Nothing



where FieldName1 is a field in the table 2, FieldName2 is a field in the table 1.

Hi Ann,
Thanks. However, it didn't work.
How can I insert a field value from Table 2 to a field on Add Page of Table 1? I would like to use the Add Page before display event.
I have the "Organizer" field on Table 2 and I also have an "Organizer" field on Table 1. The admin will enter the "Organizer" value on Table 2. When the users see the Table 1 Add page, I want the "Organizer" value from Table 2 to be displayed on the "Organizer" field on Table 1.
Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
use Add page: Before displayevent to select this values from Table 2 and save it in the session variable.

Then use this variable as default value on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editortab.

Hi Jane,
Sorry to annoy you.
Here's what I didn.
On the Add Page: Before Display, I have added these codes:
dim rsExists

set rsExists = dal.Organizer.Query("Organizer='Organizer'","")

if not rsExists.eof then

xt.assign("Organizer")

end if

rsExists.Close : set rsExists = Nothing
On the "Edit as" Settings on the Visual Editor tab, I'm not sure how to insert the variable as default. I've tried xt.assign ("Organizer") but I got an error message.
Pls. advise. Note: Organizer is the table name of Table 2. Organizer is also the field name in Table 1 and 2.
Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
It's difficult to tell you what's happening without seeing actual files. Please publish your project on Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending a URL to your pages along with instructions on reproducing this error.

Thanks, Ann.
I have opened a ticket and attached the DB and Aspr file in the URL that you have mentioned. I don't know where the demo account is.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
I have tried Jane's recommendation again but tweak it a little bit and it worked!
I was able to copy the value from Table2 to Table1 by creating a session variable in Table 2 (After record added) and then set that up as a default value in Table1.
Thanks,

Jay
