I do not recall native support of command line parameters by CR IDE, but I could be wrong. There are however programs around which are doing just that: View/Print. There is now a free CR Viewer 2008 <a href="http://www.sap.com/usa/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">available</a> (<a href="http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/crv2008/en/xi3-1_crviewer_release_en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">release notes</a>). I think it does support print command. I have not used it myself for that purpose, since we are managing homegrown solution over the years based of Visual Studio .Net CR (2008) SDK, but it may worth to check. Also there are small tools around which were developed for this purpose. You can try Bing for it.</p> Hi dat,

I am new to CR2008, our company just purchase it for a project that we will be using with FoxPro 9.  Our application is written in FoxPro 9,  I need to launch CR2008 using FoxPro to print reports that are setup in CR2008.  I am trying to find the CR2008 print commands (similar to DOS commands) so I can use it with FoxPro but cannot find it anywhere.  Or I may be asking the wrong question.   Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance dat Hi Serge,

I have glanced through the article. Good reference. Going over "Avoiding the mess..." part, I can compare my expereince in last two days - 2 uninstalls to clean up after CR XI and then after CR 2008 and 3 installs to finally have 2008 working. This does not include Visual Studio... :) Hi, Julie
