HTML Files

The Save as HTML command generates a number of related files.

Create a separate folder for each report to more easily manage the files that Impromptu generates. This ensures also that the files from one report do not affect the files from another. If you distribute an HTML report by email, ensure that you send all the files for that report.

The following files are created when you save a report as HTML.
