Filepro/Print Wizard/Outlook

[Bob Rasmussen]

Recent versions of Outlook (I don't remember which) allow you, in an area 
called "Trust Center", to tell it what specific programs are "trusted", 
and thus able to send without user intervention. You should mark 
printwiz.exe as trusted.

When properly configured, printwiz should be able to send via Outlook 
REGARDLESS of whether it (Outlook) is already running.

As an aside: it sounds like you don't have remote access to your 
customer's machine. I'd suggest that this ability is required, in this day 
and age. I use Webex for this; there are others available.

But, what we really want is to setup Outlook to allow this specific type of transaction to happen with no operator intervention.  I mean, if we eventually are sending 50 invoices and have to have the operator click allow for every one of them, that would also be pretty undesirable.

We don’t want to disable any needed virus protection, but we would like to automate the business of sending invoices to that a single keystroke will kick off the process and have it then run with no further operator intervention.
