Hi There,

A question regarding a possibility.

Current scenario
-----------------------------------------
We have people who register online for the jobs and we save them in the
database.

The process I want to follow
----------------------------------------------
1. Fetch the details from the database
2. Create a word document
3. Print it and save a copy

My wish
---------------------------------------------
Automate the printing process so that every morning 1.00 am a service runs
that does everything I presented in "The process I want to follow"


Is it possible? If yes, what would I need to do?

Thanks

Vivek Sharma
 
A basic way to do this, if you have the crystal reports bundle, is to:
Create a crystal report with the layout you intend to have in word
Get the data
Create an app to run the report, pull the info from the db, and export the
report to word format and save to a specified place.
Automate using scheduled tasks or build your own service implementation.

This is very basic and I am sure there are better was to accomplish the
task, but it is quick.
