Hi Everyone-
I know I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find an Action Script to do what I want.
I've created a report that users can preview, on their screen, for the record they're viewing. I've added a Button onto the report that will "attach that 1-page report to an Outlook e-mail message."
I have one problem: The only Action Script option that does what I want is called "Send a Layout via E-mail". That option is almost PERFECT. It attaches a report file, linked to the "Invoice #" (InvNum) field on the displayed report, to a new e-mail message in Outlook. The user can add his "To" address and send it (I've even pre-filled the subject).
Here's the problem: When I try to add the report that I want to the Button's Action Scripting, it finds only the reports listed on the standard "Control Panel," NOT the Reports listed in Reports section the "Web Projects Control Panel". I've looked all over for a way to point to the reports I've created in the Web Projects Panel... OR to find a similar Action Script that called "Send a Report Via E-mail", which would use the Web Projects Panel, but that option isn't on the list (see image below). I've even tried to duplicate/copy my report to the Standard Control Panel, so that I could use it, but I couldn't figure out an easy way to do that, either.

Perhaps, there's a better way to accomplish this, than to place a Button right on the report, but I couldn't think of a good way to do it. I can easily send an e-mail with XBasic, but I couldn't find a way to simply attach the report to an e-mail message that the user can add address, subject, etc.
I'm looking for any help/suggestions that you can offer.
Thanks,
Phil
