Crystal Reports Web Component Setup

Jim,
As Wendy alluded to... I don't believe the Web Component is available in
CR 7. You may have to upgrade to CR 8 or better to obtain the "Web
Component Server (CR 8)" or "Crystal Enterprise (CR8.5)".

There is a booklet that describes the whole process with the CR 8
distribution.

Subject: [Vantage] Crystal Reports Web Component Setup


For those who have been there before maybe someone can save me some time.
I
am setting up a small web server to handle crystal report requests. I
have
up to this point used the compiled reports which has worked well but wonÂ’t
in this case. IÂ’m on Vantage 3 and CR 7. What are the basic steps to
publishing a report via a web page. Do I just make a link on a page to an
RPT? DoesnÂ’t sound right. Any help or ideas would be helpful. Until
them
IÂ’ll be nose deep in the intensely exciting UserÂ’s Guide with coffee in
hand.

Thanks in advance.

We're going to be upgrade to v6 from v5.1 at the weekend and I've been
testing reports, etc, to make sure everything works the way it should. I've
come across a problem with a small progress programme that runs off a
vbform. It worked fine in v5.1 but it doesn't in v6, infact it doesn't do
anything. The programme itself isn't exactly rocket science so I can't see
why it wouldn't work. I'm hoping that you Progress experts, out there,
could tell me where I'm going wrong. I've included the code below.
Any assistance you could give me would be much appriciated.

Jim,

The way I did it was to set up the Crystal Enterprise component that came with Crystal Reports 8.5. Enterprise was free with CR 8.5. Try checking out their website.........maybe you can order the standard version of Enterprise there. Enterprise worked out well for publishing reports to the company Intranet. I remember that IIS has to be on the Windows machine for publishing or you could use some other application (don't remember what it was offhand).
