| Hi Nico,
there are a couple of ways, and they depend on how you create the invoice.
The easiest, especially if you use a report, is to get a PDF driver (such as
PDF995, www.pdf995.com). If you search the NG's for PDF, you will find a
number of options. Then, print to this driver, which automatically creates a
PDF file. As the next step, you would then create an email object (again,
there are many options for doing this out of dBase, search for email) and
attach the file you've just created. I've done several variations on that,
it works well.
Now, if you are looking for a more difficult solution , you can also
programmatically create Rich Text or Embedded HTML (.MHT) content, then you
can include the invoice (or whatever document you are generating) directly
in the body of the email (rather than make it an attachment).
If you need any more detail about any of the above, please ask.
Hope this helps,
Jan

In addition to Jan's suggestion, you can get FinePrint and print to pdf,
there is an option to e-mail the pdf file on the popup dialog. Not free, but
worth it IMO.

utility I've ever found!
