Need report name

Any chance of having the filename returned when a report is generated?

Maybe there could be a function @ReportName() that will  return the filename.  It may be desirable to manage that report with other programs/utilities.

Currently I think we can only try some programming contortions to retrieve the HTML file with the most recent time from the report folder.  But we could run multiple reports in a short time, and may want to handle all of them, even if just to include as email attachment, or move/copy to another folder.

If each report returned a filename, we could choose to do more programming to assign the filenames to variables so that we can do additional work with them.

Would want to have this value come back whether the report is run from programming with a command button or whether it is done from the Menu Tree.  We need the value for both Preview and Printed choices.

Thanks again for listening to our needs.
