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 |

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 RPT Software http://www.rptsoftware.com 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. "Dee" wrote in message ...
