also www.lebans.com has a great 'ConvertReportToPDF' function that I use a lot.  The code needed some minor tweaking to suit my exact requirements but it was pretty much 'right out of the box'.  See the web site for full details.

Darryl

Hi Richard

We routinely install the free PDF writer (using Ghostscript) "FreePDF XP" on all client machines because everybody asks for this feature.
It installs easily and uses the Apple Postscript printer driver of Windows, so no questions about the validity of the generated files.

It can be found here:

When you print, a popup lets the user select to send the pdf as an attachment via your e-mail client:

It's in German but the installer allows you to select English for the user interface.

Not been doing a lot of MS Access  recently, but have now a request to
add this functionality to a A97 database.........

 

save reports to pdf format and then email.

 

 

How easy is this?
