Emailing in Crystal Reports

[Guest]

I am using windows forms and using Crystal Reports. I have attempted to email using the standard email sample, but get an exception and the erro
public void CreatePDFEmail(string sendto,string subject,string from, string message, string user, string password

// Declare variables and get the export options
PdfRtfWordFormatOptions pdfRtfWordOpts = ExportOptions.CreatePdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
MicrosoftMailDestinationOptions mailOpts
ExportOptions.CreateMicrosoftMailDestinationOptions()

// Set the export format
pdfRtfWordOpts.FirstPageNumber = 0
pdfRtfWordOpts.LastPageNumber = 0
pdfRtfWordOpts.UsePageRange = false
ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions()
exportOpts.ExportFormatOptions = pdfRtfWordOpts
exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat

// Set the mail options
mailOpts.MailCCList = ""
mailOpts.MailMessage = message
mailOpts.MailSubject = subject
mailOpts.MailToList = sendto
mailOpts.Password = password
mailOpts.UserName = user
exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = mailOpts

// Export the report
exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.MicrosoftMail
ReportDocument.Export(exportOpts)


The exception trace is as follow
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InvalidArgumentException: Invalid export options
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineExceptionUtils.DoThrowException(String message, EngineExceptionErrorID id
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine. .P(String â™ i, EngineExceptionErrorID â™ j

at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export(ExportOptions options

Has anybody any idea what may be wrong with this

Hi,

Maybe you didn't install the Crystal support for sending output to MsMail, I
believe you have to do a custom installation for that...
I suggest you to try exporting to a temporary file, and then sending that
file as an attachment.

Hi

I have been unable to locate the files for the custom installation. Can you point me in the right direction

I am concerned that the recent security updates will preclude the sending of attachments on my system Windows XP and I am looking for appropriate code to try out the alternative option

Regard
Rob
