Hi,

is it possible to set a e-mail-adress in the report, so you haven't to input it manually in outlook ?

    No, but you can create e-mails from within Navision and attach a report that you saved as HTML or pdf.

    You have to program this.

    I am quite interested on how I can save a report as html and send it via email (probably via the mail-codeunit). HTML works as a charm, but I just don't find any decent solution for saving to pdf and send it (in one process). Can you help me with this?

    sure!

    But keep in mind that a Navision report saved as HTML can have a messed up lay-out. If this is the case save it as pdf. Don't know how to do that, but I saw a download in the download section which should be the solution.

    But now, how to save a report as HTML.
    Order.SETTABLEVIEW(SalesHeader);
Order.SAVEASHTML(Filename);
 
Mail.NewMessage('eromein@home.nl','','Test E-mail','Hereby your order conformation...',Filename,TRUE);

    Order = report 205
    Be sure to make a uniq Filename (report name + date + time)
    Mail = cudeunit mail
    Be sure to change the e-mail address to the one of the customer.

    Good luck

    I think you didn't read my question carefully ... saving as HTML and sending it was no problem for me. indeed, it can have a mixed-up layout, that's why I would want to know how to send it as PDF.

    Thanks anyway for the reply!

    sry, I didn't read you post that well.

    There is a download on mibuso, that claims to export a document from Navision code as pdf. Maybe you should download it and see what is does. I haven't checked it out yet. It could be a solution to your problem / answer to your question.

    Do a search on this forum for 'pdf', and you'll find some threads about this subject.
