Hi,

I’ve a similar requirement.
Opening a Business Objects from command line. (This is done)
Refrsh the report. (Set an option in Tools–>OPtions --> Save —> Refresh on Open)
Save the report in the text format. (Not Done)
Close the report. (Not Done).

I’ve written one batch file to open up Business Objects from command line but unable to perform step 3 and step 4.

I tried with SendKeys(Alt + “F4”) in command line to close the application. But it is not at all closing.

Please let me know is there any way to do this (other than BCA).

my environment
BO 6.5.1
Windows XP Pro

Ctrl + W closes open document
Alt + F, X closes BO instance
Can you use SendKeys with these values

and look at WinKey
