.BAT (or similar)
Discussion
Is there any way I can set up a .bat file (or other software) that would automatically open an application (Word, CrystalReports, Excel), open a file, update it, then print it.
I've got a bunch of different reports in each of these apps, and its a real pain doing this manually every week ....
Cheers

vbScript ... never used it.
As for updating it, take an Excel s/sheet as an example, it has links to other workbooks that may have new data in and for the report to be up-to-date, this new data has to be incorporated (usually asks if you want to update when the s/sheet is opened). CrystalReports has an "update data" button.

Hi guys,
I'm sure this is easy to do.
Years ago I had a coverdisk program which would record/perform a set of actions when you press a hotkey.
I will search and see what comes up.
Basically as long as you perform the same set of task
File >import >filename.???
File >save >
Exit
it should be ok.
There must be an easy way !

OK I have no experience with this company or product but I found a UK company via google

The product is called macro scheduler
and I think a trial download is available.
Looks pretty good.
