scheduling crystal reports

[whizzz]

hi friends,

I would like to know whether we can schedule our crystal reports in crystal reports 8.0 or in 9.0.

I want the reports to be generated (refreshed) automatically based on a schedule,like on every 30th of month,the report should be generated.And,it should be placed (published) on a folder so that the manager can easily view the reports at the end of the month by just looking in to that particular folder.

Looking forward....


Thanks in advance

You can get Crystal Schedulers such as Crystal Passage which allow you to specify these options.
I had this problem with 8.5, and none of the schedulers I found seemed to work. I eventually found a command line exporter, created a batch file and used Windows scheduling. However I found only a proportion of my reports were being exported correctly.
I would love to know if anyone has found a successful way to do this.

I have a similar request. I need to have my reports autogenerate and refresh every friday.

Have you all tried to look for the 3rd party tools provided on Ken Hamady's website?

Look under the Report Managers section.

Hope this helps!
