Ms. Bulmahn,
I'm not as savvy as most of the people who hang out here, so this solution may not be best, but it's what we're planning to do.

If you use automation to print your report with MS Word in the first place, i.e. do a SELECT and then write a prog that pokes each line into a WORD object, you would then have what you want as far as formatted output to email.

As for saving a report to file, I don't think you're going to have much luck with that. The two ideas that spring to mind are:

- Can VFP 6.0 do this?
- What about FoxFire?

Good luck!

Marty Smith

>The report has several fonts and shapes. I have tried sending the report to file but I must be missing something as I can't get it to print from e-mail as an attachment. I am also looking for an automated method so the user does not need to initiate e-mail manager.
>Thank You.
