Do you own Event Manager? This is the way to do this.

Nope...thanks for the response.

You need to look into Event Manager - not Exact Event Manager but Vineyardsoft. You'll never regret it.

I do this for a lot of Macola customers using Ido Millets Visual Cut product.

Use a yes/no field on the Contacts screen to identify those contacts that receive emailed copies of invoices - this allows you to have multiple recipients on a single customer account.

Create or use an existing Crystal invoice form and group it by customer and contact and add criteria so that only contacts with the yes/no field checked are included.

Use Visual Cut to 'burst' the invoice and email to each individual contact - then schedule it to run each evening using Windows Scheduler.

The same concept can be used to email ACH notices to vendors, statements to customers, acknowledgements etc. etc.

Of course - you'll only find the Contacts tab in Macola ES or Macola 10. For Progression, you'll have to use a user defined field on the customer.

Thanks for all the replies..different suggestions from what I got from Macola and WiSys...I will look into them.

A little late to the party, but...

We use a program called Check Factory ( to batch and email invoices and statements (written in Crystal Reports).

Email addresses are stored in a SQL table, since the accounting email contact in the AR customer record is not always where invoices and/or statements must be sent. Fields are essentially Cust_ID, email_addr, Doc_Type (I=Invoice, S=Statement, etc.) If no email address is found, it is replaced by our email address so they can be printed and faxed to our neo-luddite customers.

And Don is absolutely right. Even if you don't use it for this project, you definitely want Vineyardsoft's Event Manager!

Cheers,
Randall

Thanks for all the solutions....looking into a few of them.
