You can send the output of a report to another type of file, such as ASCII, delimited, Excel, or dBASE III PLUS. These files can be used by spreadsheets, word processing, or other applications and include the printer driver information.

Reports in some modules can be exported to additonal files types, such as PDF or HTML, and can be saved to your hard drive or e-mailed.  You can also select to export only the data portion of reports (header information is excluded) in these modules.
