Hi, I have a few Crystal reports in .rpt files. We have a number of users who have Crystal Reports 2013 (developer) installed and all I need is to be able to run these reports from a command line (may be a .cmd or .bat file) and have the parameters such as Username, Password and Connection info (like Server & DatabAse names) passed automatically. All that the user will see is the Parameter prompt (as though they pressed the F5 button) where they can select the parameters and just run the report. What they will do with the report data is immaterial, they can export to Excel , they can just print it or they can create a PFD file etc. Right now I use the command "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\crw32.exe" -F "C:\Users\JSmith\Documents\Crystal Reports\TMS Reports\Dev\MyCrystalReport.rpt" -U "crystal_rpt_user" -P "password" -S"SERVERName" -D"DBName". This seems to launch Crystal Report. However it just opens the report and I need to press the F5 key to force a Parameter refresh and then it prompts for Username and password. How can I have it just display the prompt page by automatically logging in using the command line parameters ?
Please help .
Thanks
