Print Reports as an E-mail Attachment

Overview

Sage ERP Accpac lets you print reports to a printer, to the screen, to a file, or as an attachment to an e-mail message.

Note: You must be assigned to a security group that has been assigned permission to change the print destination. (Otherwise, the only destination available will be to a physical printer.)

To change the default print destination to E-mail:

  1. From the Sage Accpac Desktop menu, select File > Print Destination.

  2. Select E-mail to create a file that can be attached to an e-mail.

  3. Select either Adobe Acrobat (PDF) or Rich Text Format (RTF) as the file format for the e-mail attachment.

You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (available as a free download from the Adobe Software website).

You can open RTF files with most Windows and Linux word processing programs.

  1. Click OK.

When you print with an e-mail destination

  • Sage ERP Accpac creates a PDF or RTF version of the report.

  • Opens your default e-mail program, and attaches the report file to a new e-mail.

In Microsoft Windows, the default e-mail program is set in Internet Options, in the Control Panel.
