I understand that you can either attach the Active Report as .mht file or include a link to the report when Scheduling and sending via email.

Is there a way that you can embed the Active Report in the body of the email ?

As far as I know it can't be imbedded, only sent as an attachment to the email. It is then opened by the recipient in a browser which renders then displays the active report.

Hi,

Thinking outside the box, if your email client supports HTML email then in theory it may be possible to use <iframe> tags in your email with a URL pointing to the Active Report on your Cognos server.

The Active Report may render in the email, but will of course depend on a number of factors not least of which is you being online and connected to your Cognos server; and having security (or lack of it) to access the active report.

Good luck.
