Rodopi and Imail work well together, the only draw back is that Imail has
yet to come up with a solid connection for SQL 7. We have used the event
scripts in Rodopi to send the information from the Rodopi server to the
Imail server with little or no problem. The initial set-up was not a major
undertaking with help from Rodopi and Mr. .Mike Delp (of this list). We are
using access, but I understand that using Mike Nice's (also of this list)
ODBC.dll SQL 7 works very well. The original scripts we received were
modified a little but I can repost the message that covers that.
