Sending emails with HTML attachments

rbuser

I tried sending emails with a PDF attachment and it worked great, but
when I set the EmailSettings.ReportFormat:= to 'HTMLFile' or any other
format other than DPF, the email doesn't get sent. I get get no
responce at all when I call SendMail.

Is it possible to embed the report as HTML, so that it appears when the
recipient opens the email, rather than forcing them to open an
attachment?

Hi,

For future reference, please use your real full name when posting to these
newsgroups.


All the built-in devices have been tested to work correctly with the email
feature. In my quick testing with RB 10.07, setting the ReportFormat
property to TextFile successfully exported the report to a text file and
attached it to the email being sent. Which third party device are you using
to export to HTML?

It is not currently possible to embed the report as HTML in the email body.
This is something we will consider researching and adding to a later release
of ReportBuilder. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm trying to add some functionality to allow a user to define the file type
of the attachment. Looking at this previous mail I see that I need to set
the ReportFormat property to the appropriate Device Type. My problem is
where these Device names come from ? I'm using the Waler library and want to
be able to let the user select any of these file types as the email
attachment. Can someone tell me where I can get the correct names for these
to pass to the ReportFormat property.

Hi Ian,

Take a look at the source of the file devices you wish to use. All file
devices in ReportBuilder must override the DeviceName routine which defines
the name to be used for that particular device.
