outlook. There's lots of fun stuff in there. You can trap the recievemail,
search the subject for a particular phrase, and if that phrase is found,
copy the text of the body of the message, launch provision's compiler, and
spit the .r file back in an attachement. You can do it within Outlook 2000
itself, using the visual basic built in. However, you could use a 4GL (or
VB, or c++) program as well, and communicate with outlook via its API. Or
you could use MAPI calls instead, bypassing outlook altogether......
I know you probably weren't serious about this particular application, but
there are many other instances where automated e-mail response can speed
things up. In one application, a work at home engineer sends us a request
saying SENDMEDATASHEET 31-000253, and the appropriate pdf file is located
and attached to the e-mail and sent to the engineer. Pretty fun
stuff..........

Good Idea. I've though of doing something similar with the Memo table to
have an indexed INTEGER copy of "Key1" so Report Builder could work with
it.
But you *would* need ProVision to compile it. Shot me code & I can burn it
for ya'. Hmm... wonder if I could rig up email here to have an automatic
compile & return service? Email your source to a specific address, and
have it compile and fire back a .R file?!
