PHPRunner General questions

Hello all you users,
I am using PHPRunner to administrate my costumers.
Now when I want to send them an email or a letter I have to type the name and adress myself in the letter.

Is it possible to get a button on the listpage to send the info of the costumer to WORD or an e-mail?
Thanks,
John

I have implemented a similar solution by linking the [MySQL] database table through MySQL ODBC to an MS Access database table. When done you could then use MS Word's mail merge on the linked table. It worked for me and I hope you find this helpful, though I am certain more experienced users might suggest a better way.

Word Mail Merge is the way to go.

Hi John,
you can do the job with microsoft access or excel.

If you have direct connection to your mysql database by your ISP

then those articles will help you, also if you use database on localhost.

If you don't have direct connection to your ISP's database

then you could export your data to an excel file as new database table

for excel or access.
