Customizing export from the print dialogue

edited November 2002 in End User
I am integrating RBuilder into an an application where I've rolled by
own report writer and display screens. When the data is previewed on a
form, two buttons give the user the option of exporting results in
either Excel or XML format using third-party components.

I've been scratching my head about how to provide that same
functionality as I switch reports over to RBuilder. Can the print
dialogue be modified or is there some other place where this option can
be given? I want to avoid a two step process: display a report and then
go back and run the report again after pressing an Excel or XML button.
Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Mark,

    ----------------------------------------------
    Article: Can ReportBuilder output reports in
    HTMl, XLS, RTF, PDF etc.
    ----------------------------------------------

    There are three ReportBuilder add-on products which support additional
    output formats. For more information surf:

    the user can access the additional ouput formats in the print dialog.
