RR Automation

Post by strawnj » Tue Mar 25, 2003 4:51 pm

I am using R&R Xbase 8.1 and I am pulling data from a Fox Visual Pro DB. I have limited knowledge of database structures but I know enough to produce the reports I need. I was wondering if there is anyway to automate the exporting of the reports daily, weekly, and monthly. Also if there is a way to automate the importing of those exported files to a program like Excell. ____I did a search on this topic in these forums and came up with some information about Rapid Runner. If Rapid Runner is part of the solution, could you please direct me where to purchase the software?____Thanks for your time and help.

You should be able to accomplish this simply by using the Windows task manager. If you use the runtime shortcut maker to create a report icon, then you can use the command line generated by that icon as the basis for your Windows task.____Kathleen__R&R Support
