I have been using GP Macros for years and it has been great to automate many repetitive processes.

I typically set up macros to be called from a command file and the macro will auto-login to GP, run the intended procedure (ie Aging) and when finished auto close GP and then run the next task.

The problem I have now is how to do that same process with a GP report.

I can get the process to auto-login to GP, select the report, update any report settings, and print report to file. The problem lies in that from that point I can’t seem to get it to then auto close GP, it is just left hanging in the report config form.

Any ideas on auto-closing GP after running a report?

Hi Jeff

You have GP Power Tools, so why not use the Exit after Processes menu option as the last selection in your macro.

That will exit after background processes are completed.

David

Jeff,
I ran into a similar problem years ago when I was having an automated job scheduled once a week to run Inventory reconcile.. 
I had GPPT at the time as well and despite the order to close & exit GP at the end of the macro process, it would never do it.. Somehow there was a pop-up coming on screen to confirm the completion of the reconcile that would prevent GP to exit. 
Maybe a newer build of GP can take care of that nasty pop-up if that’s what holding you up too..

I was able to use the Exit after Process with the GPPT and it resolved my issue.
