Export Report to file

rbuser

All,

If you choose to output a report to an HTML file, then a dialog appears and
prompts you for a directory to output to. If you press the ellipses (...)
button, you are prompted to enter a file name, not a directory. The filename
you entered is then ignored.

This is not only confusing my users, but also my Technical Director. Have I
set something up incorrectly or is this how it is supposed to work?

Regards,

Paul.

Seeing that this isn't a native DM product, it would be nice to know which
driver you are using to create the HTML files. Also have you looked at the
HTML export settings to see if there is anything there that will help?

Very sorry about this, it appears to be an issue with the Waler ExtraDev
comps.

Regards,

I think the TExtraOptions.HTML settings control how the file is produced.

Since HTML can create multiple files from a single report
(all images are created as separate jpegs and each page),
the directory is only used from the selected filename. The file
dialog is part of RB and I cannot change this based on the
current device selected at runtime.

You can however set the UseTextFileName property of the
HTML device and at least the base file name will be used from the user.
This may be less confusing.
