Can anyone explain the purpose of scheduling crystal reports?
Not really, It depends on the application that you are working on.
Ex:
If you are working on any automation project which replaces manual reports and sending email to users, yes you do need to schedule the reports to send out email instead of manual process.
You can setup a database to store the Report Schedule Information and develop a windows service to check if there are any reports to be sent. That should retrieve the report data and send out an email with data in pdf/excel format. This is just my opinion
based on what I have done in one of my previous projects.
Please explain your scenario.
