How do I circumvent the GUI when running the .exe for my report? 1

[scott111]

I have exported my Crystal Report and now have a .exe saved in a directory. I would like to add that .exe to my crontab. However, when you run the Crystal Reports .exe a GUI pops up which requires someone to click on Done or Print. Is there a way to circumvent that GUI window.

Thanks

Scott

What is a crontab?

The compiled exe will always use the launch window. No command line available.

If you are trying to launch from an application you shouldn't be compiling to an exe. You should integrate the report into your app using one of the 4 integration methods. Ken Hamady
