   Topic: Attach Crystal Reports to E-mails
Posted: 24 Jan 2008 at 5:32am |
I am using Crystal 10
Does anyone know a way to attach a crystal report to an e-mail?
One of my crystal reports has a field that contains e-mail addresses. I would like to be able to turn that field into a hyperlink, and when the hyperlink is clicked, outlook opens with the addresses in the TO Field and the crystal report as an attachment.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know of any way to do this using Crystal 10. However, there is a new feature in Crystal 2008 that allows reports to be sent to email based on a list of email addresses included in the report.

Hi Dell,
I'm not aware of such a feature in Crystal 2008. Can you clarify where you found a reference to this. Perhaps you are referring to something that requires a future enterprise version?

It was one of the things that they showed when they introduced Crystal 2008 at Insight last fall. I haven't actually used it, though, so I'm not sure how it works.

Hi Dell,
I think you are referring to a future and expensive Enterprise-level feature that they indeed described at the Insight conference. This is not a standard part of Crystal 2008.

Hi,
first part is not difficult at all. It's quite easy to make CR to open your default mail client, when clicked on email fild in report, and have "to" field in it pre-filled with email address from CR email field.
It's tone by right clicking the field, then Hyperlink tab, and then either "an email address" or "current email field value"
when you choose "an email address" then you can specify hyperlink for eg.
It opens my mail client, ads hello to subject line, however I was unable to add attachment to it using the above code...
I am using CR 11 R2

I'm not aware of any way to do what you are looking for just with Crystal. There are several 3rd-party tools (see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that address this need.
My Visual CUT software is one of them:
