I am trying to generate a .bat file that prints off the results of a Crystal XI report called ROLLUSD.rpt. I have the code below which opens up the relevant file - but I cannot get the report to print - any ideas would be very much appreciated
C:\CML\CML.exe
" file://\\Server%20Name\quantum$\Program - \\Server Name\quantum$\Program Files\SunGard\AvantGard-Quantum\Reports\Oracle\RollUSD.rpt" thanks

I don't believe it can be done from a .bat file. You would have to write a program that would open the report and send it to a printer.

Actually, there are a number of 3rd-party tools that are available for this - some that aren't that expensive. Check out the list on http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html - http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html for a good selection.
