Email and fax a report to a lot of recipients

scott

We need to email and fax a report to at least 20 recipients.

Here are what we did:

1) We print to a generic/Text printer to have a text file created.

2) We then retrieve the file and make a copy of it. We insert fax number or email address to the document and save it to a network folder. We continue the process untill we have a copy for every recipient.

3) Our fax and email program will automatically send these files out.

Problems:

1) When we print, we have to manually type in path and file name (C:\"Document ID").

2) Navision sometimes could not find the printed file (C:\"Document ID" is hardcoded in the program).

Our quesions:

1) Is there a way to pass file name to the printer from Navision?

2) Why sometimes Navision cannot find the printed file, even though we can physically see it when navigate.

3) Is there a better way to accomplish our goal?

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

why don´t you creat a text-file direct from the report? then you can hardcode the filename, too.

Next i would generate a temporary table which contains the receivers and then you call a codeunit like No. 397 so much as you have records in your temporary table.
