does anyone know if there's any way of automatically running reports within Approach.

We currently have a view containing macro buttons for Daily Reports, Weekly Reports and various ad-hoc reports, but these have to be requested manually.

Ideally, I would like the daily reports to run, say, at 07:00 every day, without a user having to request (or forget to request) it.

A macro named Open will autoexecute when the apr is opened from disk. You could put a copy of the reports in a separate apr containing a macro named Open to print them. The last macro command can be Exit. A scheduling program such as Windows Scheduler can open the apr at the specified times.
