Hi there!

Is it possible to create a routine, code, or something like that, to print automatically a report without need to push the button print.

I need to do this in the company manufacturing process because the workers are printing all the labels to a production order in advance, and we would like that navision automatically print a labe time to time.

    take a look at report.run();
    This system command requ. some parameters. 1. which report, 2 use systemprinter Or printer from printertable and the last ist, if you want show the request form (if the last parameter is false, the report prints on the fly)

    For an example in cronus, take a look behinde the function Post&Print on Sales Invoice.

    regards
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    In report you have options to define to show request form or using report.run parameters.

    You should also define in system administration witch printer should be used for that report.

    Hi Nunomania,
    You can call the report from Form - OnTimer() triger.Also have to set TimerInterval properties with some time.

    Yes you can.

    What do you mean with "Also have to set TimerInterval properties with some time"?

    I mean that to fire OnTimer() triger you have to set TimerInterval on Form properties with some time.For example TimerInterval = 10000

    You can set it in the form properties. Don't think you can do this in code. then, you'll have to use the timer-automation which is provided by the NAV-team by default.
