How are you going to get the parameters from the vbscript into the parameters in your Crystal Report? I can pass parameters from a DOS app to a vbscript to the clipboard, but you need VB to access crx controls to get the parameters into Crystal Reports.
If you have a web server and run the Web server Component to Crystal reports, you can pass the paremeters on the fly. Oh, did I mention that costs around $1000 per user?
