I've got some reports that I need to e-mail to a number of users. My original thought was to use GenRepoX to generate HTML out of the report and just put up a web page. I'm having some problems doing that, so I was thinking about just e-mailing the report to everyone (is there any other program that will generate HTML out of my reports available?). I've played with Rick Strahl's WWIpStuff class and that works great. Now I've just got to figure out how to get my report into something that is easily e-mailable.

I could print to a file using our normal HP driver and e-mail that to everyone, but I just don't think they'll be thrilled with having to get that out to their local printer. A "text" printer is better, but then I lose all my fonts. I may go with the .PDF format at some point, but not right now since I'd need to install the PDF viewer at everyone's computer - something I'd like to avoid right now.

I saw a RTF driver available sometime ago, but I didn't have much luck with it. Mebbe user error, who knows. Anyone have the URL for it?

I guess I'm just looking for ideas. BTW - we're using Eudora Lite for our e-mail clients.

One other alternative to e-mail is to just print this report out at their local printers for them over the WAN. Anyone have code that can easily change printers programatically?
