Chuck, I really like the RJS tools. The email is done from a PC, of spool files that can be burst according to, say, employee ID or office ID or whatever. So it's a matter of, can you email from that PC? There may be ways they have of emailing from the 400, too.

Conversions to various formats are easy. There are also components that rearrange the data on a report and filter and highlight, etc. They have various bundles of their products.

I think it's www.rjssoft.com

Hi Folks,

We have had our remote sales force ask that reports be emailed to them. The
normal routine has been to run the queries that generated these reports and
then mail them out. And obviously that takes time.

We are on V4R5 (hoping to upgrade be on V5R2 real soon on a new box.)

So is anyone doing anything like this ?

I'm aware of some of the third party tools. So any feedback on them would be
fine. Also any home grown stuff ?

And this might be a stupid question, but if our AS/400 does not have a
public address, is this even possible ? We have a VPN setup where folks can
get to our AS/400 remotely.

Thanks,

Chuck
