The Outlook
Mail Library lets you send
multiple e-mail messages from one report. It can send single
short messages, or build up a longer message and send that when
needed.
This User Function Library
has been designed to send messages during the processing of a
Crystal Report. These functions can be grouped into two main
function areas:
-
Send a message
immediately, or
-
Build up a message and
send it when required.
A free
version is available for evaluation on our download
page. Please bookmark this page, download that, and test-drive
this outstanding product.

UFLs (User Function Libraries) give Crystal Reports the ability to use
e-mail as a delivery method. This is extremely useful for a long list of
reasons.
For example, e-mail is
ubiquitous, and it's a primary information exchange and storage tool
today. With this functionality, your report recipients can manage their
received reports in their e-mail system. It doesn't take much thinking
to realize this is a "must have" function!

Testimonial
| We use the Outlook
version with our Exchange server to process all our orders.
A Crystal report containing the quote, order, and
shipment can be displayed on the screen (optional), but the hidden lines
build the email to send to the correct department as defined by our
accounting software. This builds out a nicely sized and formatted e-mail
with all necessary info. The recipient can preview, edit, and
forward/reply this info without going into the accounting software to
look up the order or print a hard copy. It even sends to our cell
phones.
This is very handy, as we have 17 techs on the
road and being a service center it keeps the paper from piling up.
Crystal can send a message as HTML, but if it contains many fields and
the user tries to edit it like normal mail they get very frustrated.
Chelsea software has bridged that gap. This add-on saved each employee
twenty minutes a day.
