Can anyone help me in opening crystal reports from ASP ?

Here is my requirement:

I have a page with a button "Report", on clicking the button , I want the crystal report to be opened.

There is anyway we could do ?

I absolutely have no idea about where to start. This is kinda urgent, so I need your help !

Hi.

You need ActiveX Viewer for Crystal Reports... I believe it comes with Crystal Reports Setup.

It must be installed at the Server... and that's all!

You will call the reports as any other asp page, with the URL.

like:

<a href="myReport.rpt">Clic Here for Report</a>

If the report has parameters... you add them in the URL by using the word "prompt" + the number of parameter (in the order of the report).

<a href="myReport.rpt?prompt0=1&prompt1=Test">Click here for Report</a>

I hope it helps... I'm still researching how the ActiveX works... it seems that the configuration at the server affects the way you see all the reports... so local report configurations are bypassed... like the page setup.

Anyway... good luck. May the force be with you.
