Email CR in body of email 1

[portedw]

I'm using CR that comes bundled with .NET 2002 (ver 1.0??). I'm successfully able to create reports and export them to any of the supported formats and email them to users as attachments. However, I have one user who would like to recieve the report in the email body, not as an attachment. I'm pretty sure you can do this, but have not yet figured out how. I've tried exporting the report to an .html format and including it in the body of the email but all formatting is lost when doing that.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

HTML formatting is generally a bad idea, you might try exporting them to Excel or PDF, and then pasting it in.

If you're tryinmg to automate this process, I think that you'll have to write code, and it will be dependent upon your email package.

Thanks K,

I've tried the other formats, but again all formatting gets lost. Even if I can somehow programtically save it as an image, this would be an acceptable solution in this case. Yes, since I'm trying to automate this process, I'll definitely have to write the code.
Thanks again,
