Crystal Reports & ASP

[dcarlson]

Has anyone used Crystal Reports with ASP? I downloaded some samples from Seagate only in typical Seagate style the samples don't work.

Thanks,

I use Crystal & ASP on a daily basis... it takes a little effort to get it to work the first time, but once you do, it's pretty easy to implement. You have to make sure of a few things.. like for instance, in the SmartViewerActiveX.asp page that you have to add to your ASP project, you need to specify the location of the rptserver.asp file which should also be added to your project like so:

webSource.URL = Location.Protocol & "//" & _
Location.Host & "/[virtualdirectoryname]/rptserver.asp"

Also, the Seagate support site is pretty decent for tracking down the reasons for things not working.

Thanks for the reply, it took me a whole day. First to get a static report to display, then one populated with a recordset.

Works good now.
