Scheduled Reports

[doubledown32]

I'm trying to create a reporting scheme that is scheduled to run once a day. The file is then to be exported to a .csv file and copied into a specified folder.

I tried using compiled reports but this doesn't completely take away the manual element of the process. The report is automated in the sense that all a person needs to do is click on the report and export it to the appropriate file, but then I have to write a batch file to take the file and copy it over. I am looking for a more automatic solution. In other words, I need all of this to happen behind the scenes at a specified time.

Is it possible to do this with Crystal?

Any insight would be greatly apprecited.

Thanks!

I have heard about some third party products.
The one that I have tried is listed on the links page on my web site.

You could also try to use Crystal Enterprise, but that is a major layer of overhead. Ken Hamady, On-site/Phone Crystal Reports Training/Consulting
