Print a report to PDF and do not delete

[terryd]

I want to print a 1 or 2 page report to PDF and then email copies to various addresses after which I will delete (or save) the pdf file.
I would appreciate any help as to how to trap and save this file before Nettalk deletes it.

In the report procedure search for the line;

loc:pdfname = '.\$$$' & format(random(1,99999),@n05) &'.pdf'

(search for $$$, the rest of the line may be slightly different).

This sets the name of the PDF being saved. The leading $$$ is the magic that makes it auto-delete.
So if you embed just below the line to some name without $$$ then you'll have control over the file.

cheers

Thanks Bruce
I knew about the $$$ (mentioned in your book) but I didn't know what was the best place to fiddle with the filename.
