    Queue; multiple queries to be refreshed

    Hello,

     I'd love your thoughts on how to approach the following issue:

    I have a monthly process that entails refreshing 15-20 queries with a specific date range (i.e. June 20-July 21) and then doing 5-6 exports based off of various of the queries.

     Currently, the process takes 4-6 hours due to the size and complexity of the queries and exports. 

     We have RE:QUEUE.  However, it cannot auto-advance the dates to the next month.  Thus I must either be there to refresh the dates using an ask operator, or I must manually perform the process. 

     Any thoughts at all would be appreciated, including customization suggestions using VBA or API or another appropriate methodology.

     Many thanks!

    Faith

    Faith - Our DBA (in the IS dept) runs them using SQL for us. Saves me a bunch of time! Once he refreshes everything, I just export the data.
