Thanks for the feedback, but likewise - I'm not an OLE guru.. and we
don't use Crystal.
I'm abandoning the idea of automating the exact scenario for now.
Not long ago there was a thread named "automatically generate email with

in its general idea.

Never every tried that .. but it might be worth looking at. OR I
recently saw somewhere .. Someone had an api with a built in PDF
functionality ? is PDF open source now ?
