Hello, I want send a report viewer by mail each 2 hours I create a script in a Script Module. No problem to execute this but when I create a timer script in Event Script (Gateway) I met a problem with function gui and I can’t find other function to replace it. And I don’t want open Client on the server. Thank you for your help Nadya ---

you wont be able to do this without a client open, at least not the way you are doing it with the reporting module. you could probably build a dataset that looks similar to what you have in the report viewer component thru scripting and then email that out. ---

The only way to accomplish this is to have an open client on the server. This topic has been covered a few times in the forum. Here is a good read on the topic [viewtopic.php?f=70&t=8851](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=8851) ---

Thank you for your information. I know that in this case its works, but I would like generate the document automatically : no event, no client Tks Nadya ---

Unfortunately you currently need to have an open client, no way around that. ---

your report is so basic that you should easily be able to create a dataset that nearly matches the screenshot that you attached, and then email it. here is a post by nmudge that may help you on how to take the dataset, convert to excel, and then send it via email.
