Is there a way to convert report to a text file?

Basically we want to convert a report to multiple copies of same text file, and then add different contact name, company name and fax number or email address to become the first line of each of the text file. We will save them in the server and the fax or email program will automactically pick them up and send them out.

We don't care about formatting, but columns should line up.

Thanks.

    Try installing a text-printer (Vendor Generic, Printers Generic/Text only) in Windows and print the report to that printer. You will get a ASCII-file containing your report. With the FILE functions of Navision C/SIDE, you can read that file and change your data.
