OK, then you have to do this:
1) Go to the Advance tab of the report. Click in the XML window, and press Cntrl-A then Cntrl-C.
2) Paste the XML in an email and send it to the other user.
3) The recipient then copies the XML to the clipboard.
4) Log on to OBIEE and click on any Subject Area.
5) Click on the Advance tab, delete the contents and paste the XML that was in the email.
6) Click on the "Set XML" button.
There you go. The recipient can view the report exactly as it was built and save it to his "My Folders."
