But what if we want each workflow notification to be sent to outlook directly? Is there a method out there to do this? what if we have several people to receive the same workitem (in this case several outlook messages)?<br>
<br>Another point: Cause this RSWUWFML2 report can be set up for only one user at a time... or am I missing something? (and also, is a job that has to be set up in a frequent basis...that's could be a lot of load).<br><br>
I'll wait for your helpful input... thanks.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/4/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">vijay srikanth</b> <<a href="mailto:vijay_d15@hotmail.com">vijay_d15@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:</span>
