Hi marky_mark ,

I've not done it but I think it would work. Add a check box to each row with a name like name='email[{cf_id}]'; tags and put a submit button in the footer (or header) box and something should happen.

You'd then need to add code to the Header box to check for the results and send the emails if there are any requested.

Ok I'm still lost maybe I should ask the question a different way

I have data that is being collect through ChronoFroms which is then posted to a database this is working great.

I then have chronoConectivity getting the data and posting it in a nice CSS table I have created, this is all working fine.

Here is a sample of the webpage code
<table id="hor-minimalist-b" summary="LoadBoard A2Z Logistix">
  <thead>
    	<tr>
        	<th scope="col">P/U Date</th>
            <th scope="col">P/U City</th>
            <th scope="col">Del. City</th>
            <th scope="col">Trailer Type</th>

            <th scope="col">LxWxH</th>
            <th scope="col">Weight</th>
            <th scope="col">Mileage</th>
            <th scope="col">Discription</th>
            <th scope="col">Contact</th>
            <th scope="col">Phone</th>

            <th scope="col">Rate</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>    <tbody>
    	<tr>
            <td>10/30/2010</td>
            <td>Cleveland, OH</td>

            <td>Phoenix AZ</td>
            <td>Van</td>
            <td>10x10x5</td>
            <td>200</td>
            <td>2200</td>
            <td>Steel Drums</td>

            <td>Mark Rogers</td>
            <td>555-555-5555</td>
            <td>600.00</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td><input name="email" id="email" type="checkbox"></td>

I want to take the data that was post and with my checkbox email the data to different people on my email list. I would like to email more then one line at a time.

website is http://www.a2zlogistix.com/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&Itemid=11 if you need to take a look at the site.

Thanks

Hi marky_mark,

One more step in the code, the checkbox needs to identify the record. Something like this should to it.
<input name="email[{cf_id}]" id="email" type="checkbox">

Then you need something to trigger the sending. A Submit button would do it.

Lastly code to send the emails. You could to this by having the Submit button action go to a ChronoForm; or by adding code in the listing header to check for the result and send emails as needed.
