Crystal 8.5 and Win Server 2003?
- Thread starter Tracey
- Start date
Please define "webreports". This is not a crystal term to my knowledge. Is it a 3rd party product?
Crystal reports 8.5, by itself, has no ability to run reports on a website. You would need to use Crystal Enterprise 8.5 or a 3rd party product to do this.
Crystal 8 came out in 1999, so it predates windows server 2003 by a few years. If I was tasked to put reports on the web I would buy Crystal Reports XI Developer, which comes with a 5 user Crystal Reports Server license. Much easier to work with than Crystal Enterprise 8.

yeah sorry about the bad terminology. I refer to Crystal WCS. We are upgrading hardware at a client's site and they have reports served using wcscgi.exe.
To upgrade their crystal version will not only mean $$$ for them (new license and, i believe, new development of reports access to allow for new version functionality), but a learning curve for us (as we stopped upgrading when they changed the operation of the web reports)

Sorry I have never heard of Crystal WCS either. Is it a 3rd party product?

You should probably post this in the Crystal Enterprise forum.

yeah i guess I should have in retrospect.
However, for anyone else who comes across this post looking for the same answer, I have setup CR8.5 and CE8 on a Win2003 server and it serves web reports fine. (in fact better than it did on win2000 - no looping login when run as a service!!)
