Integrating Crystal Reports with PLEX-developed applications

[hammer02]

We have an application developed in COOLLEX 3.1 running on NT, with SQL Server 6.5 and Crystal Reports 6.0. The application is client-server developed in C++.<br>
<br>
We are looking for a way to easily integrate the Crystal reports with the application. The intent is to allow the reports to be called within the application from a menu. The reports should be able to be added to the &quot;menu&quot; without programming changes (i.e., via table entries) for easy maintenance.<br>
<br>
If anyone knows of such a tool, I would appreciate hearing about it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mike

seeing as plex just generate native platform code (in this case C++, you should put a post in the crystal reports forum and see if there is anyway of invoking a report from through an NT api call or something similar.

or failing that, you could just wait until the autumn for version 5.0 to come out - its report writing facilities are vastly improved from earlier versions of Plex.
