How to save a BO report using WebI?

[rackingmybrains]

Greetings,

I have a report designed using the FC. Users view this via WebI. How can they download this report (the results, not the .REP file) using WebI?

A WebI designed report downloads neatly as a .CSV. When the user click download on the .REP report, they get the .REP
file:-(

Regards, Rana

Out of the box, they can't.

You can use the SDK to write an ASP/JSP module that does this. There have been a few floating around out there.

Or you can buy one from a third party.

Or, you can wait for the next release which will should have it built in. Steve Krandel

Thanks Steve. We are licensed for the SDK, both BO and WebI.
Can you point me at which one to use? I can hunt thro', but will be grateful for any pointers that make me faster.

Send me a message off the list and I can send you what I have so far. It doesn't completely work, but a decent ASP developer should be able to make it work.
