How does the Email-Writer work?

[GB-Express]

Hello all!

I'm a semi-new billing person who's company uses Peachtree Complete Accounting 2005. We are interested in using the Email-Writer feature in order to directly send PDF-style invoices to our parent company, but whenever I choose the "Peachtree Email Writer" option under Printer, nothing happens after its sent. I do see the "Peachtree Email Writer" as an option under "Printers" in Control Panel...

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Okay, I figured out how to get it to "print to file", but we do easily 200 invoices a day, and currently the file it outputs goes directly into the Peachtree company's folder... Is there any way to send it directly to a specific folder so I can just email the entire directory of invoices for that day?

yes? no? anyone?

I'm not familar with Email-Writer so I can offer no input on that.

I use a PDF printer (CutePDF) and it allows you to specify the destination folder when you print.

When you enter an Invoice, you would then click on the E-Mail Icon versus the Print Icon. Peachtree then creates a PDF of the document, executes your default e-mail client i.e. MS Outlook, or Outlook Express, and the e-mail address as defined in the Customer record.

Separately, you can download a free copy of CutePDF and install it as an alternate printer. You could then modify one of the default Invoice forms and indicate in the design screen to use the CutePDF printer.
