This class finished up working with the Purchase Orders that we started in Access 328. We'll begin by designing a printable PO report that you can send to your vendors.

We'll put a button on our PO Form to CLOSE the PO (mark that it was sent to the vendor).

We'll make options on the PO Form to see POs that NEED to be sent to the vendor, and that HAVE been sent to the vendor (we're still waiting on parts).

When the parts come in from the vendor, we'll have another button to mark them received.

Next you'll learn how you can have Access automatically generate an Email to send the POs electronically.

Finally, we'll go back to the Letter Writer that we built back in Access 204 and 205, and I'll show you how to use it to send Bulk Email.
