A feature of MYOB AccountEdge is the ability to send forms and reports by email. In order to use the email feature, your email software must be MAPI compliant.
Note: What does MAPI compliant mean?
In order to send a sale, purchase or report by email from MYOB AccountEdge, the email software you use must be MAPI, (Messaging Application Programming Interface) compliant. The following are some email software applications that are MAPI compliant: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange and Entourage; Apple's Mail for OS X; Qualcomm’s Eudora; and Pegasus Mail. (Not all versions of these products may be MAPI compliant; please check with the application’s provider for information about the version you intend to use.) Other applications may be MAPI compliant, as well.
If your email software isn't listed here and you wish to email from MYOB AccountEdge, contact the publishers of your email software to obtain more information about its MAPI compliance.You can access the email feature by clicking the Send To button in the Sales, Purchases, Index to Reports and Screen Reports windows. All sales -- Quotes, Orders, Invoices and all purchases -- Quotes, Orders and Bills can be emailed. You can also send an email message -- one that doesn't contain a form or report -- using the Card Information window.
Note: If you plan to email a form or report, be sure that QuickTime 4 or a newer version is installed on your computer. QuickTime can be installed using your MYOB AccountEdge program CD.
Note: Forms and reports are saved as PDF files
When a form or report is saved using the email feature, it's saved as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. The contact who receives the email must have software that is capable of opening a PDF file. To view a file in PDF format, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free application distributed by Adobe Systems, which is available at www.adobe.com.
