Thanks for the reply.  I'm using the same script that has worked for 
years, the only difference is I need to use a system command to email 
the invoice instead of emailing from within a script.  Originally I 
ran a script that would run dreport to generate an invoice (which was 
written to a predefined filename) then the script would email the 
file.  Now I need to use the system command during the report 
generation to email the invoice.  Marks suggestion appears to resolve 
my problem, I just need to spend a little more time testing before I go live.
