Hello,
My project team is building an application in Visual Basic 6.0 that will create reports from a SQL Server database running on an NT platform.
My question is whether it is possible to interface seamlessly between VB and Impromptu so that Impromptu can generate the reports (invisibly) in the background. The idea is that the user would input a couple of parameters in the VB application and generate the report without having Impromptu actually open up, etc. Users should then be able to view or print the report in whatever format (likely pdf) it's created in.
The technical folks at Cognos think this is probably possible, but if anyone can give me more assurance -- especially if they've actually been successful with this -- I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks,
Blaine
