emailing report as .rtf file

[JethroUK©]

i'm emailing a report using .rtf format and the report is incomplete - it
doesn't show check boxes or lines ?

any ideas

That's what happens when you convert a report to .rtf: the graphics get
lost.

You could convert the report to .snp, you could use what Stephen Lebans has
at http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm to convert the report to .pdf, or
you could use what Stephen has at http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm

The only options which will ensure that the recipient receives the report as
you designed it are to email it as either a snapshot file (.snp), or as a
pdf file. You can chose the .snp format if you are emailing via the
SendObject method; if you want to use pdf format you will need to print the
report to a pdf virtual printer, then attach the generated file to your
email message.

HTH,

if i email as snapshot

A/ Will the recipient be able to view/print it? (you can assume they have
office xp installed)

B/ Would you know the variable name for use with SendObject e.g. acFormatSNP
maybe
