Refreshing in Crystal Enterprise 9

[bessebo]

I find the fact that you constantly have to click on Refresh when you schedule a report in CE9 very annoying. Isn't there someone out there who has solved this issue of having to manually refresh the screen to see if the report has completed successfully or failed?

Hi,
Unless it has changed in v9, it will automatically refresh in some period of time ( I forget how long - maybe 30 seconds?)

I don't think it ever refreshes but I will check into it...

I am new to Tek-Tips and javascript/vbscript, so I don't know how best to reply. But, I have hacked a modification to history.csp and schedule.csp that auto-refreshes on 10, 20, or 60-second intervals. The default is 10 secs, but the user can change to 20 or 60 or turn off the refresh of the history. The refresh is also disabled when you link to the Status view of history.

I am developing a custom ePortfolio before we roll CE out as the replacement for Seagate Info, so the code has only been tested in a development environment. I'd be glad to send it to you if you like.
