change name of export file

[apettinotti_(Guest)]

does anyone know of a way to dynamically (and *automatically*)change the name of an export file when you^re calling the report in runtime?____i^m trying to automate (as in, NO end user intervention) the running of a report that gets run everyday - a simple text export - but don^t want to overwrite the previous day^s file. when done manually, we rename the file with today^s date (eg. "20020812.txt"), but for the life of me, i can^t figure out any way to dynamically change the name of the export file in runtime...____any suggestions?

You would need to write some program code to update the contents of the RI_OUTFILE. No way to do it directly within R&R.____Kathleen__R&R Support

You can change the output name from R&R only if you select "File", then "Print". If the report is saved as printing to R&R Export, then there should be a selection on the bottom right side of the print screen for the file name showing the drive directory and name.
