Hey Guys -

OK, so I use Business Objects alot for data mining and development. I am fine using it, but I know that the reports that I am designing for the end-users are pretty daunting and require a bit of manual labour on their part. I am thinking about using the macro builder within BO to automate some of the tasks.

I am used to developing macros in Excel (recording them and then editing afterwards in teh VBA studio) - but it looks like you have to solid code directly into BO.

I would appreciate any advice, tips, tricks, etc, from anyone who has designed macros within Business Objects.

Thanks

Jesse

I have some code that I have been working on in Excel - where I save the report in a specific location as a text file:

CODE
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= xxxxx


What do I replace 'ActiveWorkbook' with?
