Webtrends Report Exporting

Is there a way to make webtrends automatically create monthly reports?

I have a site with many folders representing each client. I would like each client to have a copy of their webtrends report. This is simple in that I can make a parent report and make each child representative of the subfolders.

However, I have a balanced web enviroinment of course and I do NOT wish to manually export reports or give the external world access to my log server, so I would like to have webtrends export the report to a file of some sort so that I may post it on each of my webservers in the appripriate locations.

Is there a command line method for making webtrends export a report? Any ideas on setting this up in a maintenance free way? I would hate to have to try and remember to export some 70 reports every month.

Thanks
Joe

I had the same question and found this response from webtrends site

Solution
Within WebTrends, the creation of Microsoft Word or Excel reports can only be done by manually selecting either the Microsoft Word or Excel icon located above the report calendar. Currently this process cannot be scheduled or automated to be done on a regular basis within the product.

Tried to bookmark the URL with thewhole answer but that didn't seem to work. If you find some way to do it sticky me, I really miss that feature ... :-(

So far the best option I have found for my reporting export dreams is Analox with Reporting Magic (both free)

[analog.cx...]

very well done, looks like I will have to pre-process the logs with a script to gather nly the data I want, then script around a bit with the cfg files, but I think I am in god shape.

Anyone have experience with this? Any words of wisdom (in the form of code samples is good)

Thanks
