I'm looking into exporting reports to MS Outlook Public Folders, via a VB application (using CR7). I've not actually got CR7 installed on my machine as yet, due to the uncertainty of knowing whether it'll be worthwhile or not (the only reason to upgrade to version 7 will be whether this exporting idea will work as required).

What we basically want is for users to click a button, and have the report created (as is done at present), but rather than having a preview window appearing, having the output go straight to the designated folder with no further action required by the user.

From what I can gather it looks fairly straightforward, though it's been suggested that additional dll's, etc would be required and the coding is a bit more complex than simply printing (ie. do you finish of with a report.action = 1 statement, etc?).

If anyone's tried exporting in this way, I'd be grateful for any basic pointers as to the complexity, etc.

Thanks in advance.
