Exporting

For users to select a name and a directory to generate a file, let's open a dialog box.

1.On the AlarmScreen, insert a Command Button and change its Caption property to "Export".

2.Create the next script.

'Export
If Application.ShowFilePicker(False, FileName,"pdf", _
  128, "PDF Files|*.pdf|All Files|*.*") Then
  Set Report = Application.LoadReport("AlarmReport")
  Report.Export "PDF", FileName
End If
