Crystaldesk> Crystal command - Line generator

[tuigvlieg]

Best wishes for the new year!

We are using Crystal desk option Crystal Command - line generator. This will automatically run / schedule crystal reports.

If I create a windows task and schedule the report, it runs but it is not updating the crystal report output. Output is always the same.

When I run the created batch file from Crystal command - line generator the output is correct.

How do I get the correct output from an atomatic created report via the windows taks manager?

You probably need to turn off the "Save Data with Report" under the file menu in Crystal and re-save the rpt file. However, this is only a guess. Why not contact the software vendor for tech support?

Hoi IdoMillet,

No the save data with report is off. THe Crystal command line generates a .bat. If I start this .bat manual it runs fine. If I start the .bat with the windows taks manager it keeps repating the data of a specific timee without refreshing.

I hope someone can help me out as me and colleagues are becoming desperate.

Rgds,
GJ

Does your report contain prompts ? are you filtering on a specific date or time ?

Sounds very odd that a report without saved data can produce old output. Again, why not contact the software vendor for tech support?
