long story short - I hired a consultant to recreate a report and deliver it to the browser as a PDF. He created an ASP page that calls a javascript page that calls another ASP page that uses a CR 8.0 .dll to convert the report from an .rpt to a .pdf. (I believe he mentioned the .dll being a beta at the time). His code works most of the time. Eventually the server gets hosed and nothing in the app works anymore. It seems like the .dll gets lost by the system completely and the process stalls.
Now the question, I've purchased CR 8.5 Developer and am loading it on an IIS 4.0 SP6 machine. I would like to be able to make this a straightforward change and only have to modify one line of code (okay, stop laughing!). I've already rid myself of his javascript circus act and have one ASP bringing parameters to a second (via querystring). My reports are already laid out (from 8.0) and everything is working until the server stops responding during the conversion to pdf.
Any suggestions for a simple fix or guidance to a good tutorial or book that will help me with this?
The process from the user's perspective is click a button and see a pdf in a new window.
Thanks in advance for any help!
