The Tell-A-Friend example uses a RECORD (form) CC page that does NOT connect to any data source; it's used as a basic form where visitors enter data and press an INSERT (button with "SEND" as its text). Code is inserted in the BEFORE INSERT event to send an email.
However - if you want to display information from a datasource (like event information to "tell a friend about an event"), and want to use some of the information from the datasource in the email to be sent - use of the INSERT button will attempt to add a record to the datasource.
Are these viable options:
(a) Use a URL type field (label) to construct a link that would pass selected record data as parameters to a "SEND EMAIL" page (another form with no datasource where you gather the FromAddress, ToAddress, and EmailText) and override INSERT on this second page to process the email information.
(b) Insert an html "SUBMIT" button of your own (possibly in a field label area) and insert "CUSTOM ACTION" code in the RECORD page with the datasource to {POST) the parameters to the SEND EMAIL page?
*Might be nice to do this from a GRID I suppose...however, a GRID has no CUSTOM ACTION from what I can determine - a GRID is not a FORM?
(c) Any others out there? ....

Why don't you just go along your merry way, doing everything as you currently do. When you are done with the email send, just call
exit sub
This will exit the sub 'formname_action()', or you can simply do a
response.redirect sActionPage
or code in your own custom page name where sActionPage is.

Knew it had to be easier than what I was brain-blocked to do. Will try it.
BTW: Thanks for telling a friend! <SB
