Create .MDI File

dfragoso · 2008-03-18

Hello

I´m triyng to send a email using the codeunit 397, and i want to use a attachment file .mdi, but I don´t know how to create this kind of file.

I create a Automation 'Microsoft Office Document Imaging 11.0 Type Library'.Document as auxMDI.

CLEAR(EmployeeTable); 
Report.ApplyFilters(AuxMonth, AuxYear); 
EmployeeTable.SETRANGE("No.", EmployeeNumber); 
IF EmployeeTable.FIND('-') THEN BEGIN 
  Report.SETTABLEVIEW(EmployeeTable); 
  Create(auxMDI); 
  auxMDI.SaveAs('C:\Report.mdi'); 
  CLEAR(Report); 
END;

The main objective is to run a report and save the same as .mdi file ](*,)

Thanks for the help. [-o<

Never tried but I do see that after you install Office 2003 or later version that I do now have a Custom Control

Microsoft Office Document Imaging Viewer Control 11.0
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\MODI\11.0\MDIVWCTL.DLL

that you can use.

From what I juast quickly read online about MDI files is that it's MS's version of the PDF (kinda)

So perhaps you can look at how the PDF works and switch the PDF patrs for MDI. :-k

Also I just notice when I look at my printers I have
Microsoft Office Document Image Writer Printer

Start->Printers & Faxes

If I look At the Printer Preferences of that printer and then the Advanced Tab. I can Set the Default Output from Tiff to MDI.

The you can print your report - or set the deault printer for that report to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer printer and it will create a MDI file. I printed this topic and get

Just to add:

I had to set the program to open that file type.
I found mine at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPVIEW.exe
