Exporting a report via email

I would like to generate a report and have it sent as an email attachment on a weekly basis. Is there any way to do this in Filemaker?

Not sure if this is the correct conference for this topic but it looked the most likely.

All help greatfully received.

Regards

You could use a pdf writer like acrobat to generate a pdf file of your report using a print script step, then use the send mail script step to send an email that attaches the file. If you want this to happen on a repeating basis without user interaction, you should consider a script scheduling plugin like Troi Activator or Waves In Motion Events.

Hi, is there any way to do this without it prompting you for a filename to save the .pdf file as?
