A field is missing from my emailed attachment, but shows if the document is printed. | Customise the form and make the field slightly larger or reduce the size of the font in the field. See this support note for instructions. |
PDFs are not being attached to my emails | Security software might be interfering with the email being sent from AccountRight to Outlook. Try temporarily disabling security software (antivirus, firewall, etc.) to see if this identifies the program which might be interfering. You might need help from an IT person to resolve this issue. As a temporary workaround, you can re-send the email from Outlook's Outbox or Sent Items folder, or save the document as a PDF file and use Outlook to attach it to an email. To save a document as a PDF file from AccountRight, display the document then click Send To and choose PDF. |
I want to remove emails waiting to be sent (without sending them) | Open the transaction and change the Delivery Status to Already Printed or Sent. If you have lots of emails waiting that you don't want to send, disconnect your computer from the internet, "send" the emails from AccountRight, then delete them from the Outbox in Outlook. You can then reconnect your computer to the internet. |
I can't select a specific customer or supplier when emailing. | Make sure the customer or supplier's card isn't set to Inactive (check on the Profile Tab of their card). Be aware that customer statements can't be emailed if the customers outstanding balance is zero. Similarly, supplier remittance advices can't be emailed if the supplier accounts payable balance is zero. |
How do I set "To Be Emailed" as the default invoice delivery method for a customer? | You can set the Invoice Delivery preference on the Selling Details tab of the customer's card. |
Sent emails include an attachment called "Winmail.dat" |
Using AccountRight v19.11.2 (Australia only)? Sent emails might include an attachment called "Winmail.dat". We'll release an update soon which will address this issue. Until then, we've attached a file below to fix this issue. Right-click the attachment (MapiEX Disable.txt) and choose Save target as (or Save link as) and save the file in your AccountRight folder (e.g. C:\Premier19 or C:\Plus 19, etc.). Attachment If you're not using AccountRight v19.11.2 and Outlook is set up to compose emails in Rich Text Format, Outlook will sometimes attach a file called "Winmail.dat" to your emails. To stop this, ensure Outlook is set up to compose emails in HTML or Plain Text. This setting is usually under the Mail settings in Outlook. In Outlook 2010 and later: File > Options > Mail > Compose messages In Outlook 2007: Tools > Options > Mail Format > Message Format |
