Third Party Tools -- meaning software that isn't dBASE. dBASE does not natively create PDF files. There are a lot of software packages out there, however, that act as Printer Drivers, and you can control the printout from inside dBASE. I personally am fond of PDF995 (inexpensive -- $10), there are many others. There are ActiveX controls that can handle email. dBASE Plus 9.5 comes with the Catalyst controls, including the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol control, but it does not handle attachments. You can purchase a license for their full email software; MarshallSoft has an ActiveX some developers here in dBASE land like, there are quite a few others. Check the third-party-tools newsgroup here ...
