I am using CR8 with the Web Component Server to currently distribute on-demand reports. It works fine. My problem is to find a way to shedule reports so they automatically execute and distribute(file,e-mail,printer,etc.) on a recurring basis. I have downloaded and used the distribution expert, but you can't schedule anything recurring, so I might as well just run them manually anyway.

From what I have read, the following seem to be the ways to do this:
1. with Windows NT Scheduler.
2. from a custom Visual Basic application.
3. using Seagate Info.

What I am looking for is the best way I can do this with the minimum installation/setup effort and expense. If anyone can provide some feedback on their personal experiences with this issue, and what you feel would work the best, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
