First of all about the old, Classic Excel buffer: it worked with COM objects, and while Excel COM objects were never meant to be used without a GUI, as a Windows Services (which the Application Server is) I found if I comment out the code that sets the margin and page layout stuff then it works. So I based many important reports on it, automatically e-mailing the files with the SMTP Mail codeunit and scheduling it automatically with Job Queue because this is how it should be in the 21st century: managers should not need to have to log in to Navision and run a report, but have weekly sales etc. delivered in e-mail automatically.
Eventually we are going to have to upgrade, I would like to ask whether in the NAV 2013 the Excel Buffer with its new, .NET based operation can work with a scheduled GUI-less background service, like the NAS or something similar? Also including the kind of formatting changes recommended in the blogs i.e. background colors etc. with OpenXML?
