Hey all,sorry if this in the wrong forum.

I have just got crystal reports 9 dev edition.

I would like to export the reports through VB6 every hour or so, to a server computer.

First off, how possible is that to do, I take it I need to use a timer, I am able to export ok in code, but what is the best way to ensure it happens every x number of mins?

Also, on the server PC, I take it I need to run a web server of some kind? E.g. I could run Apache web server or MS personal web server? something like that?

Then from the desktop PC that has the VB program, I just export the report as html to a known path of the Server PC (assuming it has a mapped network drive or something).


So finally after all this is completed, the user from a third pc, can type into IE "http://webserveraddress/folder/report.html"

and the report will appear?

Thx for any clarification on this matter, I am new to this sort of thing.

Thx
