Yup, you can. I use the Automation Server. Here's my code:


loCRApp = CREATEOBJECT("Crystal.CRPE.Application")

* Set the Crystal Report options
loCrExportOptions.DestinationType = 1
loCrExportOptions.FormatType = 4
loCrExportOptions.DiskFileName = laAttach[lnAttach]
loCrReport.DiscardSavedData()

* This line will supress the Print dialog in Crystal IF Crystal has
* everything it needs to handle the report.
loCrReport.ParameterPromptingEnabled = .F.

* Create the RTF file
loCrReport.Export(.F.)

* Reset the CR Options
loCrExportOptions.Reset()

* Clear the report objects
loCrReport = .NULL.
loCrDataBase = .NULL.
loExportOptions = .NULL.


After this, I call IDS Mail to send the report.
