Our OS is NT and Mail server is Lotus Notes. We want to send some baan reports thru email to specific users.
Can we able to do this without buying a third party product?

Thanks in advance

I do this using a combination of ghostscript (to convert to pdf) and Blat to send the file to an smtp connector (in our case exchange)
I run the report as a job which outputs as postscript file. the job runs a batch file when it finishes that calls ghostscript to do the conversion to pdf and blat that send the file in an email.

Long time back (when I was new to BaaN), I wrote a session which made different file dumps. Then we wrote an agent in Lotus Notes which picked up those files and depending upon the file names, it mailed the files to respective users.
But, I believe there are better options available.

Good luck!!:)

Could you please give us some details of BLAT. Is it a purchased program or public domain (like ghostscript)

Blat is free this thread has more details on it

Blat is a freeware. It is a dos based program for sending emails.

It works great. We use it in our B2Email (Baan to Email) Line of Products.

You can download a copy of blat from this site
