How to DOWNLOAD and display automatically file from server

Hello,

I have code that saves a report to PDF on the server, then attaches the PDF report to an email. (based on this blog).

My client wants the PDF to always display so it can be printed. How can I add the DOWNLOAD command to do this?

                  REPORT.SAVEASPDF(206, 'C:\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1.pdf',"No.")+'.pdf', SalesInvHeader);
                  SalesInvHeader.SETRANGE("Posting Description",'Order ' + "No.");
                  SalesInvHeader.FIND('-');
                  Cust.SETRANGE("No.",SalesInvHeader."Sell-to Customer No.");
                  Cust.FIND('-');
                  emailtoaddr := Cust."E-Mail";
                  
                  Mail.NewMessage(emailtoaddr,emailccaddr,STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1',"No."),
      'Attached please find invoice ' + "No." +'.','\\'+Hostname+'\C$\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1.pdf',"No.")+'.pdf',TRUE)

You mean you want it to open the PDF after?
How about
Hyperlink('your path&filename.pdf');

HYPERLINK worked! Thank you! =D>

For future reader's benefit I used:

HYPERLINK('C:\temp\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1.pdf',"No.")+'.pdf');

which worked with the code above. It opened right up into Adobe PDF.

Howdy, Stranger!
