Saving reports

[nicwnacw]

Is it possible to save a report to a particular 'file'. I am trying to develop a database for the issue of parking permits, letters and permits are not a problem, but the boss wants the letters saved for later viewing, i.e. she wants to search for a particular person and be able to see all correspondence that has gone to that person. Can this be done without knowledge of VB or SQL??????????????

As a very easy and low tech solution you can easily save an open report by clicking on <File> <Export>. Simply choose a directory location, rename the file to something relevant (it will always have the report name) and choose a format. I find the snapshot format invaluable since it gives you a sort of pdf type file looking exactly like your report.
If you want to go slicker you can build in this function with either a macro or with VBA.
Hope this helps
Good luck
