How can I automate this tool?

I'm using this HTML report engine tool:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14320/The-HTML-Report-Engine

it works fine with the exception of I have to manually re-run the queries that power my reports and then save them to my website. is there any way to automate this process using this tool?

Well, this is an open source application, so get the code and refactor it into a usable library. Then you can integrate that directly into your application.

Or you can create a console version of the tool and pass it parameters.

@MlandaT: Thanks,...but just so i understand...i should be trying to mimic, in my web application, what you did in the previous zip that you sent, in say, the Page_Load event of one of my web application's forms using the modified HTML Report engine code you sent, correct?

i believe this is working as i hoped it would. i'm still playing with it...have not forgotten about this question..
I'm still working this
I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Not enough information to confirm an answer.
my objection is based solely on my lack of past availability. my need to travel for personal reasons in the recent few weeks has taken me away from my work. if this is not a good enough reason for objection then i understand.
i am still working on this...i know it's been a while but i am...
thanks for your help
