Hi Steve
Have a look in help for aderb\_printrb
This is a built-in progress procedure that you can pass loads of
parameters to
such as the library name, report name, destination etc etc

You can call this from procedure editor with a query something like

RUN aderb\_printrb
(param1,
param2,
...........).

if you need help on how to create a scheduled task to run a procedure
like this then let me know
and I will forward details
