My application has report forms for invoices which are not built into the exe but reside in the data folder so they can be easily modified for different company needs.

I have added an email facility for invoices where I write to a .txt file using @ SAY and then email the text file as an attachment. By having the lowlevel (FWRITE etc) and @ SAY routine as a .prg file, also found in the data directory, it can be easily modified for customer requirements without having to make modifications to the exe.

Doug Johnston
