Query - history of reports being run

[jannoth]

Other than archiving reports and waiting for users' wrath, can anyone think of a way to tell when a report was last run?? Update a text file somehow??

I maintain over 100 and want to prove that they're still being used.

Thanks

It is possible to write a Crystal Report that references the file system data, so if the reports are on a shared drive and you have access to the file system data, you could develop a report and check the last date saved, the last date printed, etc. I've only used this to summarize my local reports however, and it doesn't check how many times a report has been accessed.

Thanks Lbass, I didn't think it was possible but had to ask. I know when they were last modified (I've restricted LAN permissions to myself) but it was more about access/usage.

Not to worry, thanks for responding
