Sorry about the mess. I'll try it again

Two Months in a row now I have accidentally sent out my invoices through =
Eudora
Email rather than Outlook Express which is what I actually wanted to do =
anyway
so I guess I found a bug in the system.

What I did was open Outlook Express and then went to Tools/Options/Make =
Default
and then clicked Apply and OK. Then, without closing Outlook I selected
SendBatch from the first invoice and they all when to Eudora and started =
going
out. In the mean time Eudora popped up a box and said some other program =
made
itself the default mail program and did I want to make Eudora Default and=
I
selected "no" but the 35 invoices were already on there way. Last month =
the same
thing happened but I could not remember what I had done so I did not post=
it
here.

Two months ago they want out through Outlook Express but I think I had =
closed it
before sending so that both Outlook and Eudora were closed. I don't know =
why it
worked then and not the next two times unless it was because I did not =
close
Outlook Express but I'm not complaining. I only installed Outlook Express=
for
sending Invoices from QuickBooks 2008. I just thought I would post this =
in case
others wanted to play around and see if it acts the same on their =
machine. I'm
using WinXP as well.

John,

It sounds like you're having a couple of issues with sending out
invoices via email? (Sorry if you gave more detail in a previous post
and i missed it) You might be interested in our free application,
billFLO. It integrates with quickbooks and is a custom interface for
managing the sending of invoices via email. The way we go about
creating and emailing the invoice, from a technical perspective, is
very different. It's proven more robust in terms of creating the pdf
consistently and sending the email.

We'd love to get your feedback on it - www.billflo.com/quickbooks

Many thanks
Ian
