Is there a way to have reports sche

[Janes]

Is there a way to have reports scheduled or automated with Crystal Developer 8.5 or do we need other packages to accomplish this? We have an SQL database and it uses Crystal for reporting, we need to post reports on an hourly basis to the web.

Your help is much appreciated.

There are 3rd party schedulers that will do this, or you can write your own little app to do this, or you can use Crystal Enterprise. Keep in mind that if you don't use Enterprise (which limits you to 5 concurrent users) and there are likely to be more than 50 people viewing these exported reports, you will be in violation of the license. CD will expect you to pay a broadcast fee of $10K per year.
