We have an existing client with a custom FoxPro system that is beginning to do business by taking orders that are auto E-Mailed from his web site. You know, where someone places an order on his web page and the web page sends him an e-mail of the info. His business consists of taking orders and having installers in the field install his product and then remove it a month or so later. His business consists of taking orders (98% by phone now) and having installers in the field install his product and then remove it a month or so later. He would also like to begin auto e-mailing his installers the list of work to do each day plus be able to e-mail the customer a conformation that the work has been done. The volume is in the order of several hundered orders or more a day.

I am open to all ideas including third party products. Could this be done in VFP using MAPI? Could we control Outlook 98? I have briefly looked at Pegasus but I would rather control all of in from within VFP if possible.

Ideas anyone? Many thanks in advance.
