      I assume you mean RW100 when you say Report Writer.
      Run the report, make sure that Xtra XML is set to Y. Next publish the report like any other report. When you get to the Publish Report screen on the type of report choose Lawson Back Office. It will give a different set of prompts to complete (you will figure them all out). After you click on the publish button you will have to re-run the report in RW100 and then you should be good to go.

          Is that publishing that "current" result only? I mean I have to publish it anytime I ran it?

          Is it possible to have the user ran it himself on demand? Just like a Crystal Report.
          Thanks again!

            You'd have to have the user run the Lawson backend job to update the data. As long as the job name stays the same, you should just be able to rerun the job and then re-run the report.
            If it's an LBI report that's on a schedule, you'll find that until the next time the schedule fires, you'll have the same report despite how many times you re-run the job.
