Hi,
By using BW print it is easy to File/Send a report (bpf file) as mail.
But for the receiver it could be better.

He/She has to use BwPrint.
And I have problem to associate a bpf file with Bwprint, to obtain that the file is opened by BwPrint when double clicking it or when opening it from the EMail program.
When trying to make this association in View/Options/"File type" in the Windows explorer, I get this error:
"The extension .bpf is already in use by file type "Bwprint.document", Choose another extension"

Is it a solution for making such a file association.

Thanks

Locate "Bwprint Document" or something similar in the "File Types". Do "Edit". In the actions, you should see "Open" and this should be the default action (it will be in bold if it is). If you don't then do a "New" and fill:
Action: New
Application used to perform action: <path>\bwprint.exe "%1"

That should do the trick.

We have used Broadgun PDF machine to convert bpf files to pdf files. A free trial is available on the internet.

Good Luck!
