  Hey folks…how are you?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This is my current dilemma: Is it possible to have a procedure in a AR 2.0 Report in which I’d be able to export it and send it by e-mail (using outlook express, or something like that…)?
  
  
  
  I wouldn’t need it to be a PDF file, but if I could only send it in a format recognizable somehow, it’d be great!!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I’d appreciate any help…thanks a lot!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  best regards,

  You have several options to send a report via email. A very nice and easy-to-use library is vbSendMail. The one drawback of this library is that it doesn’t support encrypted smtp (SSL). If you cannot use this library because of this drawback, you can use:

  1. Collaboration Data Objects : Sending Email Using CDO and MAPI

  2. Microsoft MAPI controls 6: Sending Email With MAPI Components in Visual Basic

  3. Using the Outlook object model: How do I send an email using Outlook?

  No doubt there are other options to send email including third party controls. I’ve modified the sample from the devarticles using the MAPI controls to send a report in several attachments. I hope the resources above prove helpful if this application doesn't suit your needs

  I really don’t know if Outlook Express has an OLE automation interface for you to start a new message. The MAPI controls uses underlying message subsystem of the machine and I think if you change the sample to suit your needs, it is as if you have created a new Outlook Express message and attached the report to it.

  Tecnova,

  Can you share the code you use to open a new Outlook Express message and add the exported reports as attachments to it?
