reportcast HTML form w/ graphs
I'm running a fex that contains an HTML form that displays graphs using the "reference existing procedure" functionality of the html layout painter.

When I use reportcaster to send the output in email attachment, the graphs just come up as blank.

Any ideas? Our salesman said something about "people usually use PDF's for this kind of thing" but I prefer the html if possible.

Jason :
There are limitations to using Graphs via Report caster, espcially if the WF Client and WF reporting servers are on different platforms.

This topic has been discussed in detail here before. Please search on 'Graph" and you will find what you are looking for.

after searching, you're right. I guess this is a limitation of the tool.

Thank you for your patience. I guess we'll just have to use the clunky PDF's after all.

Been there & felt the pain too Jason. Took us a while to understand - "The saga of the Missing Graph" when it first happened to us a few months back.

Glad to be of assistance and maybe save some of your time.
