exporting crystal reports to excel automatically

[RPOC]

I am using crystal 11. i want to run a report and automatically have it export to an excel spreadsheet of the 97 to x format. I know this can be done manually. Is there a way to have this done automatically and if so how? I did check posts and could not find this topic.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

You would have to either write a program using the SDK or purchase other software where you could schedule the report to run and export. If this is your only need for scheduling a report, Crystal Server will do it. There also may be something available from a third-party that will handle this. See Ken Hamady's site at

for a good list of some of the software that's available.

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.

What is your datasource ? Most of the databases will be able to do this and you can avoid creating a report.

I've been using "Crystal Reports Exporter" for years. Put it in a batch file, along with blat to do the emailing, and schedule it with the Windows scheduler.

And it's free also.

Hope that helps.
