    I have several reports that I burst to the same group of people every month. The way things are currently, they will get 1 email for each report. There bursting rule is one and the same for all these reports.
    Is there a way to burst the reports in 1 email?
    or in other words, burst several reports in 1 schedule?

    Again, all these reports are using the same bursting rule.
    Thank you in advance.

      This isnt something you can accomplish with bursting. I think your only solution would be to create a Crystal Report that uses subreports to render multiple report formats in one file using page break rules to separate them. Not a very elegant solution but the only way I can see. Probably a more manageable solution would be to get your users to start using the dashboard to retrieve their reports. You can send a single email notification that new reports are available on the dashboard after the schedules run with a link to Framework Services.

        Thanks Matt,
        Yep. I got the same response from Lawson Support unfortunately. Wouldnt it be nice to have that capability?
        Anyway, your response pointed me to another possible direction (kinda like a lighbuld really). I sure would be exploring that approach. Thanks!
