What do I put as the file extension in my filedef statement for my flex output? For just AHTML, I put C:\myfile.html

Thanks!

That depends on what your output is. Are you putting flex output into a PDF doc or are you creating a SWF file? In any case, why are you needing a FILEDEF? Just send the output back to the browser.

Well, I don't know. What is best? I read in the manual that flex reports are much better than AHTML if you have more than 5,000 rows of data. The reason I am filedefing it is because I want the report to go to a folder that other people in my organization have access to.

You probably want to embed the flex in a PDF document. This is one of the newest pieces of functionality available, so I believe it would require an even more recent version that the 7.6.6 that you currenlty use.

I've never tried FILEDEF'ing a PDF document to a separate location (even less, one that includes Flex stuff) so I don't know if that will work. I would not bet on significantly greater performance if you're trying to work with 5000 rows, but it probably IS a little better than what AHTML could handle.
