Is there a way to have Calc send an email with results when the user clicks the calculate button?
Thanx.

Hello,

Yes, you can write custom code in backend in order to send email. Write it at 'code' in your calculator. All valid php code at this section is executed when pressing button. Component is in joomla, so you can use Joomla classes to send the email or use php classes directly (Google it, there´s a lot of explaining pages).
Here you have two links, one for joomla and one for PHP:

http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_send_email_from_components

Hope this helps,
