Hello,
I have to refresh close to 20 reports each month, currently I open one a the time and change the date and run then wait for it to finish to open and run the next one. All of them are connected to the same database, using some of the same fields, I would like to have then running at the same time, so I don't have to sit around and wait for one to complete before starting the other one. Is this possible with Crystal 2008 v12.5?
Thank you.

There are a number of Crystal Report schedulers/viewers. Ken Hamady does a yearly review of them. http://www.kenhamady.com - http://www.kenhamady.com

I was hoping to just open say 5 reports at the same time and refresh them, without a third party utility. But the Ken Hamady site has some great stuff!
Thanks you.

We have SAP Business Objects, we can schedule a number of reports with a variety of scheduling options. But it is very pricey. We would go with something cheaper, but we are required to keep a history and an audit. We have not found a product other than SAP's that will do all of that for us.
