Export automatically upon running BO Report

[litsz02]

Hi, I was just wondering if any one has any familiarity with running an export to Excel automatically (perhaps on an ONOPEN function in VB) from a Business objects report upon running?

The client I am writing this for is basically using BO as a data extraction tool and would really just like the output in Excel once he runs the report automatically. Is this possible? Does anyone know if there is any example code I could find for reference?

I did a search for a while on this site, but could not find anything related. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Depending on the version of BOBJ they are running you may have also been given a "lite" version of the Enterprise Server - which would allow them to schedule an EXCEL export of the file.

See a list of 3rd-party Report Managers (that can schedule an automatic export) at:
