How do I save Export Options

When running a report on the server, the export options don't keep. The user has to re-enter them (file format , file path) everytime he runs the report. How can I save the export options with the report so the user only has to select Export the Report and Print it.

Thanks.
 
Hi

save your report with data and exported to a rtf format

that should work

I run a Crystal report from a VBA program to print labels via 'crreport.printout true' so the little printer window shows up and the user can change # of copies.
After replacing the printer it used to go to which is specified in the report with another printer of the same kind the labels now print very slowly. If I ran the crystal directly it runs fine but when run from within VBA is very slow when having more than one copy.
Any ideas to what the problem might be.

Thanks.
 
Hi
check the printer driver and see in your vb app you have the printer driver defined correctly

hi
first check and see if you have the new printer driver load on you computer
if your printing to a print server make sure that the new printer driver is install

any user running this vb app to print these labels
MUST HAVE THE PRINTER DIVER INSTALL ON THERE COMPUTER

This should help

cheers

The user has the printer driver. The weird thing is that if she runs the Crystal report by itself it prints just fine (really fast). When printing it from VBA is very very very slow. The Crystal report has the printer defined as the printer to use and the VBA program does not change it.
If I change the font to Courier 8 cpi then it prints normal speed but the label is barely readable.
Any ideas on why it will be so slow when printing from within the VBA program?

Thanks.
