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:
-
From the Sage Accpac Desktop menu, select File > Print Destination.
-
Select E-mail to create a file that can be attached to an e-mail.
-
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.
-
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.
