Unique report name

S

Sammie

I have a report named "invoice" which I print to an Acrobat pdf file.
In the "save as" dialog box for the pdf, the default file name is
"invoice.pdf". I would like the report name to be picked up from a
field on the report called "invoiceno". Each time I print the invoice
report, it has a different "invoiceno", which comes from a report filter
query. So for example, the "invoiceno" field = 1234. I would like to
automatically make the report name to be "1234", so when I get the "save
as" dialog, it automatically says 1234.pdf. Can anybody help?
Thanks. Sammie

You can use our batch reporting module to achieve this functionality.

Just call our MakeReport() function in Access and pass in the report
filename and path
that you want to use.
