Arie,

Using The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows, you 
can create a PDF file for any R:BASE output, including the 
fancy reports with cool borders, images and fonts, etc.

You will need to use any PDF Writer driver, such as Adobe 
Acrobat PDFWriter.

Example:

01. Launch TGRB2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows

02. CONNECT dbname IDENTIFIED BY UserId 

03. Create a quick command file with the following:

    -- Know your windows default printer

       SET VAR vWindowPrinter = (CVAL('WindowsPrinter'))

    -- Make PDFWriter as your current printer to create PDF 
    -- version of your output, such as report

       PRNSETUP 'Acrobat PDFWriter'

       OUTP PRINTER
       PRINT ReportName WHERE ... ORDER BY ...
       OUTP SCREEN

    -- Switch back to your windows default printer

       PRNSETUP .vWindowsPrinter

04. To read that PDF report:

    LAUNCH PDFReportName.PDF

05. To quickly attach that PDF report as an attachment with 
    your default e-mail client:

    LAUNCH mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

    This will launch your default e-mail client and then you 
    can attach PDF file as an attachment.

    You can AUTOMATE the entire task too ...

There you have it ...

The upcoming product of RBTI, R:Merge for R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5)
and higher will include the built-in output formats, such as:

. Text
. HTML
. RTF
. PDF

For a virtual tour of this next generation mail-merge and word 
processing solution for R:BASE Database, check out the following:

Very Best Regards,

Razzak,
