Is there a way to run a series of daily reports at EOD? We are looking to run void, payment detail, labor, EDC transaction report(for AMEX & VISANET) and 2 copies of sales. Can this be setup to run from Task Scheduler or Winhook(I've had problems running anything through winhook in the past)

I'm interested in this as-well, my biggest problem is getting the 'set' command to work. I can automate my reports, but whatever report was last used is what prints (within that type). I've tried all kinds of combinations but to no avail. What is the best way to get you an e-mail address on this board?
As always thanks for your help!

I have seen others encrypt it by spelling out dot and at in a complete sentence. People of this forum will now know it, but it wont be found by others using search engines to obtain them for spamming and solicting. But I do not know forum rules exactly. xyzbodotsmithatboogerdotcomxyz.

LOL, Yes I remember that thread. By the end of it, I was drunk and getting ready for my vacation. Good times!!
Anyway, anyone that wants that document, write me an email to adrothenbuhl<at>google<dot>com
As far as the last report used is the one that prints out, I have the same problem. I only have one client that uses it,so I have never been too concerned about it. But if you find a fix using the document please share!!

OK, I'm a moron!! If I would have just looked at the bottom of the document, I would have found a fix. Here it is:
You can enable Winhook-specific copies of RPT.SET to ensure the same settings are used each time the report Winhook prints a report. For example, in version 5.0x and lower, you might want a Product Mix report with only the desserts sold, but somebody previously printed a Product Mix for all items without changing the report settings back to their original configuration when they were finished. Use the following steps to create and enable Winhook-specific report templates:
(Although this method is no longer needed for the Sales Report, Labor Report or Product Mix Report in versions 5.2x and higher, you can still use this for other reports that do not use individual report settings files.)
1. Edit the report settings to the desired settings.
2. The report settings are saved in the RPT.SET file in the DATA folder. Copy this file to RPT.ONE.
3. If you are printing multiple versions of the same report (for example, two different Product Mix Reports), edit the report settings to the second configuration and copy RPT.SET to RPT.TWO.
4. Add command lines similar to the following to your Winhook batch file:
rem Delete RPT.SAV if it already exists.
DEL %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SAV
rem Save a copy of the current RPT.SET.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SAV
rem Enable the preferred settings.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.ONE %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET
rem Print a Sales Report and Product Mix Report.
%IBERDIR%\BIN\RPT.EXE /DATE %1 /RC
%IBERDIR%\BIN\RPT.EXE /DATE %1 /RP
rem Rename the set file to its original name.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.ONE
rem Enable the second preferred settings.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.TWO %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET
rem Print a second Product Mix Report.
%IBERDIR%\BIN\RPT.EXE /DATE %1 /RP
rem Rename the set file to its original name.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.TWO
rem Bring back the original set file.
REN %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SAV %IBERDIR%\DATA\RPT.SET
