Save Reports

[Karen]

Using Project 2003
Is there a way of saving a report and sending it via e-
mail to someone?

Thank you

Hi Karen

you can "print" it to PDF format using a PDF writer like Adobe or one of the
free ones (i use pdf995 from www.pdf995.com)

Are you saying that I can print it, but I can't save it?

Karen,
Yes that is correct. It's one of the drawbacks of using the built-in
Reports.

If you don't have the full Adobe app that lets you save PDF files, there
is an alternative, one that I use in cases like this. If you have same
VBA experience or know someone who does, any kind of report can be
generated from Project data and exported to another application (often
Excel) where it can be saved, printed or sent electronically to other
users.

Hope this helps.

Karen,

"Printing" a file to a PDF file is, essentially, saving it. When you
select a PDF writer as your "printer", it will then ask you to name the
file and indicate where on your system to save it. You can then email
this file to anyone.
