Hi,

Currently my application has number of crystal reports that are running. User just needs to click on the report name and provide parameters and report is displayed.

But now the requirement is to print the crystal reports without displaying them. We need to provide a dialog box to the user which will contain the name of the reports along with the checkbox against each report, user can select any number of reports and click on Print button. All the reports should be printed.

Please let me know if it is feasible or not and will be performance of the application.

Regards,
Neeraj

while I don't know how we accomplished it, it is possible...I know that we have sent the report straight to the printer without displaying it.
 
I would guess that you would create the report, possibly outside of the viewer and then tell the report to print itself...or load it into the viewer and tell the viewer to print it, but not show the viewer.
 
Just some ideas
