Running RB reports from CHUI

Just a general question about using progress report builder with a shared network installation. We have been able to attach report builder reports to MFGPRO menus with the following code:

RUN R:\DLC83B\gui\aderb\_printrb (
"R:\Prog83b\ANCA_live.prl", /* RB REPORT Library */
"Purch Proto Items by Date", /* RB-Report Name */
" ", /* RB DB Connection */
" ", /* RB Include Records - letter 0 */
" ", /* RB Filter */
" ", /* RB memo file */
"D", /* RB Print Destination */
" ", /* RB Printer Name */
" ", /* RB Printer Port */
" ", /* Rb Output File */
0, /* Rb Number Copies - zero */
0, /* RB Begin Page - zero */
0, /* RB end Page - zero */
no, /* Rb Test Pattern */
"Purchased Prototype Items", /* Rb window title */
yes, /* RB Display Errors */
yes, /* Rb Display status */
no, /* RB No Wait */
""). /* RB Other Parameters */

This works fine in the GUI interface where the "RUN R:\DLC83B\gui\aderb\_printrb" command calls report builder into action, and then displays the report as a stand alone window (which can then be zoomed, printed, etc.).

When we try the same thing in the Character MFGPRO interface, the "RUN R:\DLC83B\gui\aderb\_printrb" command fails ("can't find aderb\_printrb".

My question is: is the _printrb only able to be used from the GUI interface? If so, what are our options for kicking off custom report builder reports from the character MFGPRO interface?

Thanks in advance,

Is your PROPATH the same in GUI and Chui?

Using the table interface to prorb, It is possible to set up at report server, which will print any reports scheduled. As far as I know, it only runs under NT.
