Emailing TM1 Reports

If you want to automatically email month end reports to managers then SPF Batch reporting is still the best way to automate the process. You need to add in some vba code to automate the emailing and I have found that when using Outlook 2003 you can get annoying security messages that pop up each time.

The best way of coding the email messages I have found is via cdo as outlined here:

By using cdo, it bypasses any outlook security questions, in fact you don't even need outlook installed to send emails thus you can run things off the TM1 server if you wanted.
