Thanks Laura and Allan

I found that restarting QB failed to bring back the PDF facilities and
went for a re-install which does. I already have the paid for version
of CutePdf which is excellent however although I used it as a get you by
yesterday for sending out sales receipts is nothing like as convenient
or quick as using the built in PDF facility in QB.

QB also allows you to use a user configured e-mail message. This is not
documented and from precious correspondence here is unknown about but is
very handy.

Cheers

BTW, if you upgrade to 2008 QB uses Outlook and Outlook express to send your
e-mail messages instead of the Intuit servers. This allows you to further
customize your messages.

Thanks for the information Laura. With QB set up as I have it I can
alter the stock message I have set up and can alter it on an e-mail by
e-mail basis as I am using Turnpike so the additional facilities of QB
2008 would not help me unless I have not fully understood the upgrade
you are describing.

You are correct. Since you are not using Outlook/Outlook express this
enhancement does nothing for you. Maybe enough people will complain that
their POP3 e-mail program is not supported and they will make it work with
any default POP3 program.
