Hi folks,

At the end of operation everyday, I need to fax over 50 of reports to individual school. I am wondering whether any email software that can help me to do this automatically at specific time. For instance, report1 for school1 and report2 for school2, I store those reports in one directory. At the end of every operation day, the email program will grab report1 from this directory and send it to school1 as an attachment and grab report2 and send it to school2 automatically. Any program is able to do this ?? I would appreacite very much if you can give me some feedback or answer, Thank You !

regards,
Larva

While I can't do it myself, I would think you could write a script and have Task Scheduler perform it every day. I hope this might give you or others some ideas.

MS Word has a tool called a "Mail Merge" which sends customized letters/reports to different people based on the values of an Excel or Access database. What platform are you using? Windows with Outlook? Unix and Sendmail?

is faxing the reports the same as sending emails to the schools?
i'm assuming it's true, and i'm also assuming that you are using windows platform:

a quick search at download.com yields several results: text

for unix, you can easily create some shell scripts and add them to crontab to perform nightly tasks on those files...
