Publish + preposition
Dear All
I have the following sentence:
The report has been published to Microsoft.
Meaning probably - the report has been published for Microsoft to review - or something like that. Is the above sentence correct? Namely the preposition - is it used in a correct way?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Bob-- and welcome to English Forums. It may well have been intended to mean that, but the preposition is still incorrect. The sentence as it stands means nothing to me.

I think it means
The report has been made available to Microsoft.
I've seen some (what seem to be) reputable examples of this usage of "published to" so I suppose it's grammatical.
