I have 25-30 reports that need to be printed on a monthly
basis. Most of which take about 15-20 minutes to
open/process before printing (another 10 minutes). I
would like to create a single command/macro, etc that
would print enable me to print all of them in one "batch
file."

Anyone have any suggestions about how this can be done?

Click to expand...

First create a sub procedure that opens each report in turn.
Then create a one line macro named MonthlyReports that uses
the RunCode action to run the procedure.

Now you can use the Windows Scheduled Tasks program to run
your application at an appropriate time by specifying
accesspath yourdbpath /X MonthlyReports
as a command line argument.

Of course this wiil only work if your machine is turned on
when it is time to run the reports.
