Copy a report and name the copy using an input box

[pjg34711]

I need to run a standard report, but need to save the new results with a date-specified name. Can I use VB to request the user to enter a new name and use that name for the copied report?

I assume this is related to your other question? Even if you copy the report, if it still has the query as its source, it will refresh the data when you open it. You can export a PDF of the report if you want a static copy of it. Normally you'd use a date criteria or something, so that running the report later produced the same result as running it now (as long as the data in the date range wasn't changed of course).

Thanks, Paul. It seems that the PDF version is the best route since pulling the data from our HRIS system at a later date, even if the date parameters are the same will usually result in a slightly different population. Thanks again,
