18.1.3.3 Exporting to an application

If you export to an application, the program exports the report to a temporary file in the specified format

and then opens the file in the appropriate application.

Note:

• When exporting to an application, the output opens with the program that is associated with its file

extension as specified on the File Types tab of your operating system's Folder Options.

• When exporting in ODBC format, Application and Disk file are the same.

• You will need to specify a file path if you are exporting in HTML format.

• The file name of the report and the file name of the temporary file cannot be the same.

The sections below provide instructions on how to export a report to the Microsoft Excel (XLS) format

for each of the different destination types.
