So you are going to mail them a link to a static HTML document that is basically
a generated filePro report.

Okay

So you will need unique names for each of the reports,
or is it possible the the most correct data will be current and you want to keep
it a fixed name?

They will request data somehow. And you have to deal with people who will
complain because the reports are screwed up because one person will have the
fonts set to "smallest" and the next "largest".

If it was text only, I would strongly suggest that you just convert the reports
into a PDF, and either push or serve that. You'll know exactly what the report
will look like when they print it out. Heck, you could even set passwords for
extra security.
Bob @ anzio.com has something (PrintWizard) that would work with pictures and
filepro but its a windows solution AFAIK.
Getting back to your solution...
