Hi All

Just wondered if there was any way of emailing my BG Graphs. I have found a way of printing them but my dotor wants me to email them to him.

Dont think I have came across a way either, this might be a bit technical but if you get the graph up on the screen so as you see it in its entirety, then hit the 'print screen' button, up the top right of the keyboard, open up paint or some similar picture editing tool, edit then paste..............this then pastes the graph as a picture which you can then save, you can then email them as picture attachment......not the best but works.........

Or perhaps you could persuade him to sign up as a HCP, and then you could share them with him...

install CUTEPDF http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp then print but pick cutepdf - it will ask you to name the file and make a PDF instead of printing - best of all its FREE

I haven't used them myself, but one option maybe is to take a screen shot (Windows = ALT or CTRL and Prt SCN) Think ALT takes an image of the Window open while CTRL take the whole screen image.
Mac has an Application 'GRAB' to capture a screenshot.

Depending on software you should be able to convert to PDF Format, though the JPEG Screen Shots could be added to an email.

I would suggest the original request is posted in the site development forum. It is technically possible to get the graphs output to an email via the site, however its the level of work needed to do it and the time for us to implement it. Simon is the expert in this area and hes away on business at the moment so I can't give any indication of how simple it will be.
