OK, so would it be correct to assume that I could not embed a view in a form and email the form??
What I am trying to do is send a view out as a report and am struggling. Trying to figure out if I have to export the view into excel and then attach that to an email. But Notes does not format the columns correctly

You meant, “Excel does not format the columns correctly,” I hope. If you are exporting to Excel (as opposed to 1-2-3 or text), then you are doing it programmatically and have full control over column/cell/sheet formatting with the Excel object model.

I am not that familiar with Lotus Script. Still learning. But thank you for your help

I can think of ways to attempt the embedded form trick, but I’m reasonably sure they wouldn’t work. I think your choices here are to do it in Excel, use NotesRichTextItem and its associated classes to construct a representation of the view in an RTF, or send out a link to the view rather than the view data itself.

You can Create an Embedded Element → View in the Memo, so yes you can mail a view.
Or send a doc link
or select all the docs in the view and paste as Table (Works Great - with Doc Links as well)

It is possible to email an embedded view. However if the email recipient does not have the database that contains the view on their workspace it will not display - that, at least, has been my experience.
