Basic mail.Doc not opening Outlook 2016 (ver. 2108 build 14326.20238)

Hi All,

new to forum and looking for what can cause Outlook not opening when I use the most basic javascript code mail.Doc  Full disclosure, I am not a programmer so I found snippets of code here and there.

This is what I have :

var cToAddr = "my1stemail@address.com";
var cSubLine = "this is my subject";
var cCCAddr = "my2ndemail@address.com";
var cBody = "this is the email body I want to send out";

this.mailDoc({
    bUI: true, 
    cTo: cToAddr, 
    cCc: cCCAddr,
    cSubject: cSubLine, 
    cMsg: cBody});

This would be activated by pressing a button on the form.

My PDF form has radio buttons, text boxes and 2 signature fields.

Thanks for your help

The code itself seems fine. What happens when you press the button, exactly?
Also, did you define any accounts under Edit - Preferences - Email Accounts?

Thanks for the reply.

Checkmark is next to "Default email application".

When I click the button, the pointer goes from a "hand with finger" to an arrow, then back to "hand with finger".

It's like if the operation timed out or failed to launch and I am "returned" back to the form where I can continue to input text in the fields.

What is weird is that I sent the form to a friend on a Mac - the button worked. I tried it on my wife's computer (running an older Outlook 2010) and it worked. So I just wonder what happened to Outlook 2016 !

What application, including exact version number, are you using to view the PDF file?
