Schedule Crystal to output to HTML

We have a requirement to schedule and output a Crystal Report in BOEXIr2 to HTML. This format option doesn’t exist and I was hoping someone might have come across a work around.

Since BOE doesn’t allow for CR to export to HTML, I had to:

  1. Schedule CR to output to CR file on server and kick-off an event
  2. the event kicks-off a BAT file that calls an app that converts the file on the server to HTML.

The app is a .NET console app and uses the CR SDK, because the RAS SDK export of HTML was horrid. I thought the two was supposed to be similar in the base code. Apparently not.
