Run Crystal 2011 report using Command line

[Former Member]

Is it possible to run a Crystal 2011 report using a Command line (with parameters passed)? If so, how would this be done?

Scenario: We would like our customers to run a report from say a batch file that is on their desktop, rather than using the Crystal 2011 user interface to create the report.

Hi,

It is possible to do this but it would have to be using the SDK in a console application. You can call the console application from a command line, passing parameters.

You would probably find more information in the SDK forum.

Good luck,

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports viewers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides a command line API supporting exactly the scenario you are describing.
