Agree. &nbsp;With some versions you can create a compiled report but I don't think there is anyway to automate the export of the report from Crystal itself.<br />

It is relatively stright forward to do that from a VB (or other language) application.<br />

I want to be able to create and compile a report in crystal that will create a character seperated export file each time the compiled report is executed. I want the user to simply execute the compiled report to produce the file. How can this export be set up/compiled in crystal to auto create the export when executed. &nbsp;Gary.

auto export to a character delimited file when a compiled report is run

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
