TWO issues: 1) not looping through emails in a recordset - only sending email to 1 recipient; 2) having trouble embedding images within the body of the email.

TWO issues: 1) not looping through emails in a recordset - only sending email to 1 recipient; 2) having trouble embedding images within the body of the email.

This is a mock-up for the time being, until I can get it to work, and the emails only come to me, so you can send as many as you need to. http://theartofsergio.com/create-email.php

All the images that I'm including in the dropdown lists have already been uploaded to the server, and are in one particular folder, which is being referenced in the dropdown listboxes. I have set it up so the label is the friendly image name, and the value is the name of the file stored in the database.

I do receive the emails, and have customized the template to include my form references, but it's really erratic - sometimes the images only show up as broken red Xs, and sometimes they all show up! I do not know why!

Also, it does not loop through the recordset - there are currently 4 email addresses in the database table, all valid email addresses coming to me, but I only get one email.

Thank you ... this is most frustrating! :)

See PM for FTP info.

You had just bound the TO field to the recordset value, but you need to click the TO button and open the sub-interface to bind it to "Recordset Loop".

I've made that update and uploaded the file so you can see.

Missing images may depend on the email client you are using. If you are using outlook it will block the images by default and then you can click "allow blocked content" to show them. I feel like that might be the issue.

I'd have to see a copy of the sent email to be sure. Feel free to forward it to me if you want me to take a look.
