More specifically, Crystal now has it's own webserver. So, the best option seems to be to set up the crystal webserver and then run it in a frame. I'm not fond of it because it sidesteps site security. Unless someone out there has a way to integrate it with existing security, I don't think it's a good way to offer your intellectual property over the web. Crystal has it's own security framework that might be sufficient, but I haven't seen a combined framework that passes parameters in a secure manner between CF applications and CR8.
Oh, if anyone is successfully doing this, please tell me. I am aware that the class can be accessed using ASP, I'm looking for a Cold Fusion solution. Maybe someone has a COM object for it, or maybe someone has figured out some LDAP tricks to keep within the security framework. And if so, the next step is to move the crystal server to it's own machine and preserve the security. Crystal's web server is a resource hog.

ColdFusion ships with version 5.0 of Crystal Reports and Macromedia has released patches to allow version 6 and version 7 to work with the CF report tag. As this time there is no fix for Crystal Reports 8 to work with ColdFusion. that sucks. Ken -----Original Message----- From: Ken Beard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 10:03 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfreport Hello all, I am having trouble with the cfreport tag. I'm trying to connect to an oracle db, and I have created a dsn using the crystal reports oracle 8 driver, which is verified as working in the cf administrator. this is what the CF5 docs say: <cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'> {Departments.Department} = 'International' </cfreport> and then on the same page but different they say: <cfreport report = "report_path" orderBy = "result_order" username = "username" password = "password" formula = "formula"> </cfreport> when i try this: <cfreport report="dailytimesheets.rpt" username="cf" password="fusion"></cfreport> it can't find the report, even though the cfm and the rpt files are in the same directory. when i do this: <cfreport report="D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt" username="cf" password="fusion"></cfreport> I get the error: Error occurred while processing CFREPORT An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine. Error number 692 ocurred (Error in File D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt: Invalid export DLL or export format.). My thinking is that the cfdocs are just plain wrong and my syntax is right.. but I must be missing something. All help is appreciated.
