As you see in the attached image, this is an automated message email but as you see images source needs to be fixed before being sent.
The problem here is that I have created many many automated messages to be sent according to subscribtion date for each recepient the fact with which I cannot change many many templates to fix the image source in each one or to do any other modification.

This problem occurred because MLK created the automated message once it has been triggered while it should be LINKED to a message container, so this automated message could be modified any time without worries despite the nomber of automated messages list.

Hi Salah

They are not linked, because when users change an automated message they would not expect that change to affect all messages waiting to be sent. Their expectation would be that it would only affect future messages.

I think you would be best to delete all the erroneous automated messages and generate them again.

As you see, there is a very larg numbor of tasks and each one has its own scheduled date and time the fact that we couldnt resume all of these tasks to its previously defined date and time.

Hi Salah

The other option then would be to use the Database Utility:
http://www.xequte.com/download/dbsys426.exe

Open mlk_task.dat and import/export to update the database. You should be able to update the import file in Notepad or Excel fairly quickly.

Sorry Salah,

I'd forgotten that memo fields are not supported by the DB Utility.

Hi

Using the Database Utility, you can use SQL to batch update fields as follows:

1. Run Database Utility

2. Click File > Open and browse to mlk_task

3. Click File > New SQL Query

4. Click OK

5. Enter:
UPDATE MLK_TASK SET "NEXTSEND" = '2019-12-20'

6. Click Run SQL

Yes, you can do something like:

UPDATE MLK_TASK SET "NEXTSEND" = '2019-12-20' WHERE OCCURS('Search Text' IN "Body") > 0

Sorry, ignore "NEXTSEND" ...
this is another Q.

Can I search the content of a MEMO ("Body") field for a small string, if it exists then replace it with another string and update the MEMO field itself then.?

Hi Salah

You are probably better to ask on an SQL forum, but this code isn't right...

SET
tbl1.Body = ( ... )
