Filepro and Email Generation

[Linda Hapner]

Thank you to everyone who has responded to this.  I feel better at promising that it can be done.  I will report any progress/problems.

As usual, the fplist is a real asset to me!

  I have a reader service program (bingo cards from magazine items) that was written years ago and we've been printing forms and mailing to customers.  The program works great, but in todays technology, everyone wants the inquiry information emailed to them.

  Of course an export file is easy to do, and I do this for our big advertisers who request it.  But we'd have to hire a person to coordinate the volume we get in both ads and product mentions each month for two magazines.

  I've been asked to look into electronic transmittal of these inquiries for everyone and to scrap the expensive printing and mailing -- which actually makes some sense.

  Can anyone tell me how an automatic email and attachment can be coordinated to run smoothly within filepro?  I have all the information in the files -- I'm just not sure how one would output for an email and an attachment.

  The customer has a SCO unix system and it is connected to the internet.

  If anyone is doing this type of work and would like to quote on assisting, please send an email to me at my private address of    linda at hapner.com.  I'm hoping there is a command out there or a setup procedure that I'm not aware of that would facilitate this.

  Thanks much

  Linda Hapner
