I am interested in knowing how to organize selected bits of data of family members into an attachment. Being a novice procedural steps would be helpful to follow. Thank you for your help. John R Heintz --- John Heintz --- jrheintz@earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Many of the lists and reports have the option to save to a text file rather than printing the report to the screen. . In the report dialog boxes there is a place near the bottom of that screen to choose whether to print to screen, print to a plain text file, or print to an rft format text file. Choose one of the latter two options, then name and save your file. After that, create your email message, and click to add an attachment. From the screen that comes up, you should be able to navigate to where you saved your file and attach it to your message. You may find it easiest to find your saved files if you save them to floppy disk A:\ -- However, you can save them to a directory of your choice on your hard drive. I save mine to a zip disk. Once you have attached your file, go ahead and send your message. It is a good idea to warn people ahead of time that you are sending attachments, since some people are afraid of them, thinking an attachment might contain a virus. I send attachments quite often. It certainly is easier than printing off a lot of pages and putting them in the mail.
