Hi dave,

 IT's not possible IIRC, I do remember reading somewhere ( I think it was on
the CR website ) that the version shipped with VS.NET does not has the
feature to dinamically generate reports.

  I have never tried CR scheduling feature, to tell you the true this is the
first time I ever hear mention it :) , what I have done before is create a
console app that generate a report and send it by email in pdf format and
scheduled using windows's scheduled jobs. It does work fine until now.

cheers,
