File Directory at the Web Server

[ReportingAnalyst]

Is it necessary for all the reports and ASP files to reside in the same directory?

For convenience, I would like my Crystal Reports in one folder while the ASP pages in another folder

How can I do this, if possible?

Thanks.

Any ideas about this....

Thanks.

Hi,
As long as you can reference the path to where the reports are located when creating the new ReportObject, it should not matter.

Where do I mention the path in my ASP pages? I do not want to touch the ASP sample files -

AllMyRequiredSteps.asp
rptserver.asp
cleanup.asp
MoreRequiredSteps.asp
SmartViewerActiveX.asp

All my files are within the

http://wwwroot\reports\

directory
while my ASP files lie in the

http://wwwroot

folder.

Thanks.

Hi, It is in the AlwaysRequired ,in this section:

' CREATE THE APPLICATION OBJECT                                                                     
If Not IsObject (session("oApp")) Then                              
  Set session("oApp") = Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application.11")
End If                                                               

'This "if/end if" structure is used to create the Crystal Reports Application
'object only once per session.  Creating the application object - session("oApp")
'loads the Crystal Report Design Component automation server (craxdrt.dll) into memory.

If IsObject(session("oRpt")) then
	Set session("oRpt") = nothing

On error resume next

Set session("oRpt") = session("oApp").OpenReport(path & reportname, 1)

  Set Session("oApp") = nothing
  Session.Abandon
  Response.End
End If

'This On error resume next block checks for any errors on creating the report object.
'We are specifically trapping for an error if we try to surpass the maximum concurrent

Supply the Path and the reportname whete needed.

So would this suffice:

'Path = Request.ServerVariables"PATH_TRANSLATED")

Path = "[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\reports\"[/URL] 
While (Right(Path, 1) <> "\" And Len(Path) <> 0)                      
iLen = Len(Path) - 1                                                  
Path = Left(Path, iLen)                                               
Wend   [\code]
