I'm running into 2 issues currently, generating blank reports and sending them to clients and putting multiple reports in an email for clients. Any solutions that involve Crystal or another application would be welcome.
My first problem is that we often have reports where no data qualifies. The report then gets sent to a client and they are unsure of if it's blank because it's broken, or because nothing qualifies. Is there a tool out there that can help me identify empty reports to keep them from going to clients? Even if I could generate a different file name for a report with no data and then through my automation process hold up all files with a "no data" string in the file name. I am not opposed to solutions other the Crystal/Business Objects either.
THe other problem I'm running into is reports in multiple emails. I have 20 reports I generate for a client in a month and they are asking to receive one email. Is this possible? Once again, I'm open to looking into solutions beyond Crystal.
Thanks!!!
