hi mark i don't know about crystal reports but i use actuate reports quite alot
these work with the database via odbc so, it's fairly easy to implement and once done the report is written the format can be switched between DHML, PDF and its native report format for delivery across different media look at www.actuate.com for further info and if i can be of more help, just let me know regards mark Mark Smyth Internet Systems Developer SUeBS 00 44 1865 880800 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.systemsunion.net -----Original Message----- From: Mark Robinson (National Express) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 October 2001 10:11 To: CF-Talk Subject: CF Reporting question We have had a request to have data extracted by reports from a CF intranet with an Ingres database. Only being an amateur CF developer I wonder if anybody has any suggestion on how to do this. The ways we have thought of so far is perhaps using crystal reports (can this be plugged into CF easily ?? Can you pass over values from CF to crystal ??) or perhaps building a rtf/word document and then opening that up within the browser. any advice would be great, mark Mark Robinson Analyst Programmer **************************************************************************** **** This document is intended for, and should only be read by, those persons to whom it is addressed.
