Automate Report print

[jkercheval]

I want to be able to automate a report and the report print. I am assuming this will need to be done with programming. I am a VB programmer so that is the language of choice. I am unsure what objects of the Crystal Reports References to use to complete this task. I want to be able to print the report without any user interface at all. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Crystal Enterprise 8.5 does this (you posted in the Crystal Enterprise forum).

If you're looking for other tools to do this:

Or you can write something in VB, there are plenty of example VB programs at the Crystal site:
