E-mail dynamic-content messages from within any section of a Crystal report via SMTP. A variety of options are supported including multiple recipients, CC Recipients, BCC recipients, and attachment files. These options can be specified by using the EmailSet() function call within a Crystal formula and by appending more elements or more text via follow-up EmailAdd() function calls before triggering the email via an EmailSend() function call.

Append Content to Text Files
Note: this can be used to take snapshots of information each time the report runs (for example, via Visual CUT scheduled processing). Another Crystal report can then use the text file as a data source for information across multiple snapshots.

Read Content of Text/RTF/HTML Files
Provide the file path & name as an argument to the FileGetText() function and get the file content as a string. You can use Crystal's formatting options to interpret the string as RTF or HTML. You can also use Crystal's string search and manipulation functions to lookup values inside the text file.
