!HI¡

I'm working with impromptu 6.0. I try to make a macro for send a file with PDF format via email. My problem is I don't know how read a file with the field "custumer number" this field will be prompted to my report.
My macro makes openreport and create the file in PDF Format this is OK. Only I need get the field "customer number"

chardt. thanks for your attention

Assuming the column varies by customer, put the field into either a static array in the macro, or call it from a table into a dynamic array. Then pass it to the report as a prompt string each time the report runs for that customer.
