I have just been trying out the free viewer, and it looks impressive from a first look. I have managed to get it to crash though - by using the Send HTML function on a computer without Outlook installed:

To reproduce:
1. Open report in viewer (free version)
2. Click "Send As HTML email" button in the toolbar

I get "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

System is Windows 7 Professional 32 bit; Office 2007 Professional (except Outlook) is installed.

Any thoughts/comments?

John

John,

Both the 'Send As E-mail' and 'Send As HTML E-mail' from within the Logicity viewer portion are unfortunately Outlook-only features as of now. We obviously need to work on our ability to detect whether or not Outlook is installed to provide users with a more friendly message there. I'll add that to that immediate bug list as we should be able to handle that.

Long term I'd obviously love to integrate other e-mail clients. What client are you attempting to use? We essentially need two different API-level calls for any e-mail client we work with. One is a command line method to fire up a new e-mail and provide it an attachment (the "/a" parameter for Outlook) and the other (more difficult) is a call to fire up a new e-mail and provide HTML body text.

Lastly, there is sort of a work-around here that might be of use depending on what you are trying to do here. If you make a Logicity Solution File with an "E-mail" action with a file type of inline HTML (that is a Pro only feature) that should work regardless of your e-mail client as it communicates directly with the SMTP server.

Thanks for the bug report,
Adam

My primary email client at home (where I was testing this) is Yahoo mail (via web browser), but surely if you just use a mailto: hyperlink it should work whatever the preferred email client is set to. At work we use Groupwise and obviously there are many other email clients available.

Probably the simplest way is to just display an "Outlook is not installed on this PC" error message if you can't initialise the libraries.
