Jillian this might be a few weeks to late, you can use any version of Crystal Reports with Coldfusion, I have just rewritten a tag into a group of cfc's that will take control of CR under CF for you.
The biggest problem we faced was creating a report and reusing these reports with other clients, for example we create a report to run on a development server, when we end up going live with this we had to change the ODBC connection or the OLEDB connection which meant opening up every report and reconfigure the ODBC / OLEDB connection. The tag basically came along an ran the report against the server, but the beauty was that I could change the table name, table aliases, even the DSN, Database and login details all with 3 lines of code, 1 to open the report 1 to run the report and convert it to either a PDF, DOC or XLS format and the last to close the report. We even developed our own PDF report viewer and moved away from the activeX one. This was no easy task, but I can tell you I walked away with a great deal of respect for Crystal Reports after doing this because it ended up cutting a lot of my work load down. Anyway what specific question were you looking for?

We're using Crystal Reports 11 and we'd like to migrate to doing as much of this as possible with CF --but the documentation seems to suggest we can only use Crystal Reports 9 or 10... is anybody using it with 11? Any ugliness I should keep in mind before going down this road? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:187225 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
