Question : How to automate Access Report Save process (in multiple formats)
I have a report form, it's the most basic continuous form. When user double clicks the form, the report will be opened. And then users right click the report, chooes "Export" option, there will be a dialog window asking "File name:" and "Save as Type:". Then user type in the location and file name and choose either "Microsoft Office Access" or "RichText format" to save the reports.
My question is how to automate this process, i.e. when users right click the report, and select "Export", the program will save the reports in both two file formats listed above, using the timestamp as filename. And the program could even automate or prepopulate the report save location (predefined).
In summary, when user right click "Export", two report files in two formats for this report will automatically be saved in one location with the predefined filenames. This way, users will not need to choose the file format to save, will not need to specify the file name to save, etc. Is this possible and could anyone give me the detailed steps on how to implement this? Thanks.

Are you using the builtin Export function? If so then no, you cannot interact with that function. You can build your own, using the OutputTo method and then just call that method twice for each desired format ...
