Hello. This is slightly off topic, but I am doing this through PHP, so it's
somewhat relevant to this list.

I am running crystal reports through PHP with a COM object. Now, I have this
working just fine on several computers and has been fine for months now. The
PHP calls the com object and that talks to Crystal Reports. A report is
returned in the PDF format and displayed in the web page. This is all
working fine.

Now, I am setting this up again; however, I am doing it over the phone. So,
I am directing someone else set this all up.

Here are *my* current specs:

Win2k
PHP 4.0.6
Apache 1.3
Crystal Reports version 8.5
Adobe Acrobat full (reader and distiller)

Here are *his* current spects:

Win2k
PHP 4.0.6
Apache 1.3
Crystal Reports version 8.0   <-- he has an older version.
Adobe Acrobat full (reader and distiller)

Question to anyone who knows: Does Crystal Reports 8.0 support the export of
PDF? He does not see the option through Crystal in the export feature.

Anyhow, we've attempted to test the reports through the web page and get the
NULL pointer error. We are sure that the permissions and all is set up -
matching mostly what I have on my machine, which works - through DCOMCNFG.

So, I do not believe, anymore, that the error is because of this. I believe
it could be his version of crystal simply does not support the PDF export
feature.

One error he gets when using a COM test exe is this:

Error: 692 Error in file E:\Apps\Apache\htdocs\....\thereport.rpt:
Invalid export DLL or export format
Export.Send <PEExportTo>.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

TIA
