Default Mass E-Mail to Customers in database

My boss wants a program to send mass e-mails (technology updates) to our
customers in our Access database. It will be in HTML format. Anyone know
of a reputable software program that can do this without being web-based or
charging per month/per e-mail? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

Dee

Take a look at the sendobject method and action in the Access VB help.

Dee,

ACG Soft (google search should find 'em) have a product
for creating invidual pdfs and emailing them direct from
Access. About US$25 from memory. I use the pdf creation
side of their library and it works and support were always
quick to answer any questions. I am guessing that they can
manage the emailing(?) side of what you want.

We make a program to do batch printing to files and have an example of how
to do batch printing of files and then email each file to a specific
customer.

I would recommend using PDF format over HTML, Access built in HTML exporting
is not that great.

Basically you buy our software (which is just an Access module and a few
tables that you import into your database).
You have a central set of tables that controls what report(s) go to what
customers.

You buy a PDF printer driver and we recommend using ASPMail to do emailing
(which is one DLL file that sits
next to your MDB file). So total price is:
- $199.95 for our source code version
- $30 approx. for win2pdf
- $50 approx. for aspmail

We have sample code that does exactly what you are trying to do. It keeps a
central queue of all
reports created and when they were emailed for history/auditing.

HTH,
Mark

PS: Next step is to build a web based system for your customer to come to
and run their own reports.
See our other product to build this type of system. If your reports are not
complicated you might be able to
just code a solution in asp or asp.net.
