I have a function running properly with reports all being output to a directory. The file is not getting assigned the proper extension .pdf, just blank extension. Therefore the user has to select Acrobat as the application when double clicking on the file name. I have used the following declaration in my function which I thought would assign the .pdf but it is not working as I thought it would. Can anyone see a problem with the method I 've chosen or syntax problems? I've only pasted the lines of code pertaining to the output format below. Thank you.

Function ScorecardReports()

Dim strOutputFormat As String
strOutputFormat = "PDF Format (*.pdf)"

Dim strObjectName As String
strObjectName = "BranchScorecardRprt"

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, strObjectName, strOutputFormat, "\\Analysis and Reports\Scorecard\BranchScorecardRprt" & "-" & strBranchName, False,
 
Problem solved. Solution provided in earlier post. Sorry

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, strObjectName, strOutputFormat, "\\Analysis and Reports\Scorecard\BranchScorecardRprt" & "-" & strBranchName & ".pdf", False, ""
