Hi,
I'm getting more and more users getting frustrated at the wonderful SAP decision to remove the 2 dialogs when exporting reports from the .NET viewer. They used to be there in the VB6 viewer.
Those dialogs are the one to choose the export format, and the destination (application - which would launch the app e.g. Excel, to disk, MAPI etc).
The other dialog is the one which displays the Excel Format Options which displayed after choosing the format Excel data only.
I certainly understand there is nothing you can do about the standard report viewer, but I wonder if there has been any pushing from Jiwa to see what avenues are available to get those back? I also understand SAP is a behemoth corporation and a request from an Aussie developer may just land on deaf ears but it a fairly important option and it would be great to see them back.
Have you also looked at programatically modding the Crystal toolbar with Jiwa's own Export button which could bring those features back? Apparently there is a Crystal SDK which may be able to be utilised?
