Hi,

is it possible to sent an Crystal report as pdf file via outlook in code??

You can save the report as a PDF to disk and then attach the file to a
e-mail.

This I did and do at this time,
My goal is to write a small VB.NET method, which save the Report as PDF on
my local disk and attach this to an email.

Is this possible or is Crystal reports not the right tool for this???
are there alternatives??

Crystal reports can easily render into a PDF file on a local disk:

Then, you can use system.web.mail / system.net.mail to send you e-mail.

I have been trying to figure out how to Embed the pdf into my outlook message
with VB. Can you give me a place to look for the answer to that. Thanks in
advance.

Yes, exactly, I want to embed as opposed to attach. I did the steps manually
in Outlook and recorded a macro in VBA. Here is the code that was generated:

Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="AcroExch.Document.7", _
FileName:="M:\Compliance\Reports\irsshort.pdf", LinkToFile:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False

I have been trying to find the VB equivalent, but I cannot figure it out. I
will try your method described in your document. Thanks so much for your
help.
