Automatically Print Reports??

[Tony]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically print a report at a
specific time of the day? I would like to have this report run and print
unattended.

Thanks & Ciao,

Tony

Tony,

A fairly easy way is to put the report and associated
queries into another database container linked to the tables
db container and call your printing routine from the
autoexec macro. Now you can set this up to open, print and
then close and run it from the WIndows Task Scheduler.

The other route would be using Timer Events from within the
original.

Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a solution similar to yours and have
implemented it, but will take a look at this as well. Essentially, I wrote a
script to print the report and set up Task Scheduler to run it at the
appointed time.

Any idea which solution is better and why?

Thanks again & Ciao,

Tony
