Email
Payroll Services Works With AOL & Browser Email
The AOL
Problem
When you click Submit, if the
submission is emailed automatically by the Visual Basic in the spreadsheet,
AOL takes the liberty of changing the subject line, changing the name of the
attachment, and possibly putting the attachment in a zip file
These actions cause the email
not to be recognized as payroll at EPS
The Browser
Email Problem
If the
submission is emailed automatically by the Visual Basic in
the spreadsheet, email packages run in a browser don't
recognize that the email needs to be sent and nothing
happens
No indication is given that the email is being ignored
Solution 1 – You form the email with a few button clicks
You create a new empty message in the email system
You fill in the "to:" field, "subject:" field, and
attachment file name using Copy and Paste
The Copy is done by clicking buttons Copy "to:", Copy
"subject:", and Copy "attachment:" in a dialog
The Paste is done in the email field with a right click or <Ctrl>v
Solution
2 – Change email clients

AOL to be overbearing with its treatment of email and would
like to make more of the choices themselves. And browser based
systems have advantages and disadvantages. If you want to
switch to Outlook Express (comes free with Windows) here are
the sites for you:
