Crystal reports with ASP ??

[vikramonline]

Hi All,

I desperately want to use Crystal Reports with ASP.
I have downloaded exe from from Crystal Reports site containing the examples but that is very confusing.I tried to go through but I was really lost.

Please help.

vikramonline,

You really need to make your question more specific. When you say 'use Crystal Reports with ASP', do you mean you want to write ASP script that lets the user create or modify a report, or simply display an existing report in a viewer from a web page, or what?

Also, what examples were you referring to, and what didn't you understand about them?

Hi Mike,
Thanx for ur input.
What I want is to show a Crystal Report from a web page and that the fields in the Crystal Report(values which will be displayed) should come from the web page form as parameters.

I downloaded "aspxmps9.exe" from

http://www.crystaldecisions.com,

which is a self extracting file containing examples for the useage of Crystal Reports in ASP.We get 12 zip files after extracting from the exe and each individual zip file contains almost 10-12 asp files.Its very confusing and I dont know where to start with.

If u some good tutorial or some code snippets that would be a great help.

Hi,
Those examples are separate 'applications' designed to show how to implement various features of the RDC - the read me files in each subdirectory created by the extraction should provide guidance to its use..start with the simplest ones to get familiar with the techniques.

...and remember, in order for this to work, you need to have IIS configured correctly and running. Start with the SimplePreviewReport pages - if you exlcude all of the comments from the ASP code, you'll see it's actually pretty straighforward.

Thanx All,

One more question. What all do we need to install on the server to get it going ? Can I use PWS ?
