Batch Report

[heuresk]

Hello,

I have an issue that has been plaguing me for a while now. I'm trying to create a single report that incorporates multiple separate reports, each report has multiple subreports within it, and there will only be two parameters--date from and date to. So the idea is to have a batch report, one that links all these individual reports and runs them and return them in one fell swoop.

Have you guys ever done anything like this before, or have any ideas as to how should approach it? Your feedback is much appreciated! Thanks very much in advance.

Crystal doesn't suport subreports within subreports.

What is your objective? If it is to print al these reports, you could use one of the report schedulers (see list at

to batch the printouts of multiple reports.

Thanks for the info on the report schedulers. Do you know if they will enable you to send parameters to all the different reports? I'll look into it on my own, too, but just in case you know the answer off the top of your head.

Yes, at least some of the Report Managers accepts parameters as command line arguments.
