I've used the 8.0 and 8.5 COM objects under CF 5. The couple of experiments I did with CFMX didn't leave me feeling confident -- no luck at all.
There are some good Java-based charting APIs -- commercial ones, that may be an option under CFMX. One option you *could* consider is to use CF to get the data from Crystal's ASP pages it comes packaged with -- using CFHTTP. Not a solution I really like. You could also just use the Crystal ASP miniapp that comes with the product as a part of your application --- no reason you can't put the appropriate links (or generate them on the fly, depending on your needs) in the CF and link back to the CF from your ASP-based Crystal pages. I'd be really interested to hear other's experience with alternative reporting tools -- Jasper reports anyone? DataVision? etc. Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Koshy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 5:51 PM Subject: Crystal Reports 9 / Reporting Options for CF5/MX? > Does anyone know if CR9 is compatible with CF5 or CFMX?
