Creating *.rpt reports

[Craigs]

Ok simple question, Im creating a web site in netscape which reports on information from a Sql2000 database and i can see the data through some programs that i have down load so my code is good and it works just that i can't find out how to create an *.rpt file.

Any help would be good. I have the trial version of crystal reports 8, if i can get this working then i will buy it.

Thanks

Craig.

Hi,
I'm not sure of your question. To create an .rpt file you must create it in Crystal Reports. If you create a report in CR under VB it will create it as a .dsr file. You must then call the .rpt report through code. I hope this answers your question.

Open the Crystal Reports Designer and start with File - New. Use the Standard Expert and on the data tab, connect to your SQL database. Select your Fields/Grouping/select on the appropriate tabs and click finish when done. You can save the result as an RPT. Ken Hamady

Thanks people I now have it working well sort off. I can only get the .rpt to open at run time they want open at design so the reports cant be designed they have to be designed on the fly. There must be a better way to do this i hope so anyway.

Thanks Craig.

Crystal Reports allows you to do that also. It is much more complicated though. Go to Crystal Solutions website or check their documentation for more information.
