and the asp code worked, I am stuck here when trying to save the result:-)
The code below will not work and fails on the Open(), and have no idea
why:-)
var iFormat = arguments.fileFormat;
var strFileName = arguments.fileName;
var BinaryStream = CreateObject("com","ADODB.Stream");
// The Export method of PrintOutputController takes an enumerated
// value for the format and returns a ByteArray object
var o_ByteArray = arguments.o_PrintOutputController.Export(iFormat);
// WriteOutput(ToString(o_ByteArray) & '<br>');
// BinaryWrite the ByteArray property of the ByteArray object
// Create Stream object
// Specify stream type - we want To save binary data.
BinaryStream.Type = 1;
// Open the stream And write binary data To the object
BinaryStream.Open();
BinaryStream.Write(o_ByteArray.ByteArray);
// Save binary data To disk
BinaryStream.SaveToFile(strFileName, 2);
BinaryStream.Close();

well i'm actually researching this now (using RAS 9.2). i've not been able
to get cf to work properly with the activeX clientside, i _think_ the
component is pulling stuff from asp sessions & so never the twain shall
meet. i haven't tried porting the asp stuff to cf yet.
i have had better much luck using the java connector, rendering the reports
only took a handful of lines & i could control a whole big chunk of the
process. can also easily move this to a CFC. the only fly in the ointment
being the loss of export/print functionality in the veiwer (even though the
java viewer reports these as both being "on"). still working thru this
(fallback would be seperate export to pdf CFC)--with mx i think the java
connector might be a better choice than the COM one.
