Manipulating reports using VBScript

You can generate HTML and RTF reports using VBScript, but you cannot create reports.

The main actions you can perform for model reports and multi-model reports are the following:

Browse a report for a model

You can browse a report for a model using the following collection on BaseModelReport: Reports As ObjectCol.

Example

set m = ActiveModel
For each Report in m.Reports
Output Report.name

Retrieve a multimodel report

You can retrieve a multimodel report using the following function: OpenModel( filename As String, flags As Long =omf_Default) As BaseObject

Example

OpenModel ("c:\temp\mmr1.mmr")

Generate an HTML report

You can generate a model report or a multimodel report as HTML using the following method on BaseModelReport: GenerateHTML(ByVal FileName As String) As Boolean.

Example

set m = ActiveModel
For each Report in m.Reports
   Filename = Report.name & ".htm"
   Report.GenerateHTML (filename)
next

Generate a RTF report

You can generate a model report or a multimodel report as RTF using the following method on BaseModelReport: GenerateRTF(ByVal FileName As String) As Boolean

set m = ActiveModel
For each Report in m.Reports
   Filename = Report.name & ".rtf"
   Report.GenerateRTF (filename)
