Export a generated report to e-mail

[jim_scott]

What i want is to send the report via email

i am using crystal report viewer 9.1.500

when i click the export button, i can select many different formats, however i can only save them to a location what i want to be able to do is select to e-mail it.

I am developing the application in vb.net

Can this be done and if so HOW?

What i want is to send the report via email
Using an Outlook client?

[jim_scott]

I remember an appication i developed in vb6 you were able to export it in pdf format via microsoft mail(MAPI). then it allowed you to enter in an email address, subject etc and sent the mail from the logged in mail account, which on my pc would be microsoft outlook.

i can export to PDF but only to a location and not via email

Is this on your system or another? If its another then did you include the Merge Modules when generating your setup package?

The dll that is responsible for the Email Export is - U2DMAPI.DLL.

[jim_scott]

I do have that dll on my machine, however in crystal report viewer 9.1.5 the export only has a list of available formats and the ability to store to a drive location

i know in previous versions you could select a destination of microsoft mail. This destination field is no longer present

thanks
