Need a Crystal Reports Scheduler

[MColeman]

We are trying to find a scheduler for Crystal reports.
So far, the ones we have evaluated will not process
data range parameters or multiple value parameters
correctly.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

For a list of 3rd-party tools that can schedule Crystal Reports, see the "Report Managers" listed by Ken Hamady at:

My "Visual CUT" software supports any combination of range and/or multiple value parameters in scheduled or interactive processing of Crystal reports.

We are using CrystalDesk Pro from

- works for what we need sweet... not sure on other products though.

Try the Crystal Reports Distributor from

http://www.christiansteven.com.

It works great and they are very helpful if you have any problems.

CRD and the CrystalDesk products are exactly two products which do NOT handle the date range and multiple-value parameters correctly.

I'd be happy to let you test-drive "Visual CUT".
It takes care of the special handling necessary to store and reuse any combination of range and/or multi-valued parameters.

The only limitation is that Visual CUT doesn't support more than 8 parameters in a single report. Each multi-valued parameter however can contain as many values as you need.

There are also other Crystal reports scheduling tools listed at:

Thanks, Ido.

Actually, MColeman is a colleague of mine and posted this at about the same time I posted a similar query to another part of Tek-Tips yesterday. So I think I'll just horn in into this thread.

I don't know if the 8-parm limitation is going to bother us or not. I'll have to check.
