To use this option, your computer system must be properly set up and the Internet account with your Internet Service Provider. The process to create a backup file must be followed.

If your system is not configured for Microsoft Outlook, the following message will be displayed:

"You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile. In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail. Click Show Profiles, and then click Add."

Click OK and configure Microsoft Outlook.

If your system is not configured for Microsoft Outlook, you may create the backup file and attach it to your e-mail message.

To send a backup file via e-mail:

  1. Select the "E-mail backup" option on the Backup Set of Books screen. 

You may select the "Small backup (books)" option to make a backup of your Set of Books database in a single file only (e.g. books.fdb - for the firebird database) only.

If this option is selected, no images or other files linked to your Set of Books will not be included in your backup. This will reduce the size of your backup file. 
  1. When the backup process is finished, your e-mail program will automatically be launched.
  2. The e-mail address of osFinancials / TurboCASH will automatically be entered in this field. Should you wish to change it to a different e-mail address, (e.g. that of your auditor or consultant), you may enter a valid e-mail address to that field. 
  3. Add a description to the subject if you wish (e.g. your company name).
  4. The file is automatically attached to the e-mail message. 

You may attach another document to the e-mail. Note that your Internet Service Provider may limit your e-mail message (e.g. including attachments to 1.2MB). If the message is larger than the allowed size of your message, your message may not reach the recipient and may be returned.
  1. Enter your message.
  2. Click on the Send button.
