	The only thing that comes to mind is to have an application call the report and then every 5 minutes call it again. HTH

	CR reads the database when requested, it does not monitor the database. The only way that I can see is to have some outside force call the report.

	if you don't have an application...just a user viewing the report via Crystal Viewer, there isn't one that I am aware of. I you have an application of some sort calling the report, you could modify that periodically call the report.
