your e-mail client. For instructions, see the online help in your browser.

, on
the record form toolbar to expand the list and click Email. Note: You can also send the Web address associated with a record by
email from the query result set. Right-click on the record to display the
pop-up menu and click Email.

two pages is displayed:

the record is displayed in the right pane of the browser window.

the login page opens. After the user name and password are validated, the
record is displayed in the right pane of the browser window, bypassing the
startup query, if one is defined.
