There main reason is that CF_REPORT is really limited in it's output of the report. I solved the exact same requirements as you by using a product called Recrystallize (www.recrystallize.com) to produce both the input and process web pages. Granted they are written in ASP, but I transform the input parameter screen to CF and point it to the asp process page which launches the viewer of your choice i.e., ActiveX, Java , DHTML.
You will however need Crystal installed on the web server. There's a limited demo on their website. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Ihrig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 10:44 AM Subject: RE: CFREPORT error again!!! dll's grrrrrr.. > thanks Frank > i have looked every where. > installed all the updates. > > i cant find the PDF you are referring to though.. > why use crystal any ways? > > seems like most reports can just be created using straight cf? > but some one at my Co. wants crystal to run on the server > > not getting very far > feels like a Monday > > -paul > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank Mamone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 9:42 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: CFREPORT error again!!! dll's grrrrrr.. > > > Check the KB at www.crystaldecisions.com.
