We are using Crystal Reports for creating some G/L csv reports. They work ok except for one thing. I would like to be able to automate the process at 2am. Is there a way to run a CR report on a Win2000 box, save the results to a csv file and do it automatically. I am currently running the report daily, manually.

You will need a 3rd party report scheduler like Ido's (above) or my cViewMANAGER, or write one yourself.
I'm sure Ido will agree with me that a scheduler will be more work than you expect, and a 3rd party product might be more economic. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

Sure, you can use macro recorders to do this, but it's not the most reliable means.
