I have been watching with interest the thread regarding
E-mails. I put Razzak's example to Sami to good use already.
We currently use the mapi for a couple of applications.
I would like to set up an automatic E-mail of customer
invoices. All done in the app with no pop-up box, no input
at all from the user.
App would print a pdf file, then email to address on file,
just as it now prints an invoice.
Is that possible?
Dick,
Yes!
A complete solution and the entire process is included with
Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 9).
RRBYW Part 9 along with MAPIMail4.RBL PLUGIN is included on
your Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers' Conference CD.
To understand the process:
01. Start RBG7 or RBG75 or RBG7
02. Switch the working directory to RRBYW9
03. At the R> Prompt:
RUN RRBYW9.DAT
04. RRBYW9 Main Menu | Sales | New Sales Order(s)
Go through the entire process and click on [Continue].
Click on [Yes] when asked for Print Invoice Now?
Click on [Continue] to Preview the invoice on Screen.
Click on [Close] after viewing the invoice.
Click on [Yes] when asked to E-Mail the Invoice?
Notice the MAPIMail4 window with the following filled in
options:
Address Settings:
To:
CC:
BCC:
Subject: Sales Invoice nnnn
Message Body:
Attached File: Invoice_nnnn.PDF
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S.
RRBYW (Part 10) bundled with R:BASE 7.5 for Windows also comes
with a sample application to print and send PDF invoice.
