Connecting to OLAP data source

[D1000]

Is it possible to connect to an OLAP data source using the RDC API?

We are using Crystal Reports XI and are connecting to a Hyperion Essbase OLAP data source using the native OLAP functionality. The report works properly in Crystal but when we try to run the report using a web interface and ASP script it just hangs.

All other reports we have tried that use different data sources work properly through the web interface. Anything special that needs to be done?

This was not a very helpful link unfortunately. The User Guide is over 100 pages long and says nothing about the problem we are facing.

Let me rephrase the question:

Is it possible to display an OLAP Grid within the web ActiveX viewer using ASP and RDC? I think this is where our problem lies.

Sorry, search for OLAP within, I saw a bit on OLAP and RDC in there, thought it might be helpful.
