Business Objects and Excel and VBA

[mrowe]

Hi Again

I need to create the code that will export a Business Objects report to a .pdf or .xls then email it to the client.

The code is done in BO script called "Report sript" but is similar to VBA.

I know this is a bit out of scope of the site, but if anyone has experience doing this it would be greatly appreciated.

You are going to have to educate us a bit in order to recieve some help. Is this "Report sript" something that is available to VBA via COM? Does it need to be translated into VBA?

Ok sorry, this is the code: - problem occurs in the penultimate line (I have discoverd that i am running BO 5.1.8 which cannot export to excel!, but should export to a text file which i can then open in excel)

any ideas why this will not work? - error is Runtine error 424 object required

thanks

Dim BOApp As busobj.Application
Dim Doc As busobj.Document
Dim DataProv As busobj.DataProvider

Set BOApp = New busobj.Application
BOApp.Visible = False

Call BOApp.LoginAs

Set Doc = BOApp.Documents.Open(strPath & "\NSIRauditdataset.rep")
Doc.Refresh
Document.Reports(1).ExportAsText (strPath & "\NSIRauditdataset.txt")
Doc.Save

Shouldn't you have a reference to BOApp somewhere there?

Perhaps something like this?

BOApp.Reports(1).ExportAsText (strPath & "\NSIRauditdataset.txt")

Or this?

Doc.Reports(1).ExportAsText (strPath & "\NSIRauditdataset.txt")
