IS RAS the solution??

[redbird37]

I have an extranet portal from which 100 to eventually 300 users will be requesting crystal reports, after selection the parameters from drop downs I've created on various web forms. Currently we're using Crystal Entrerpise Standard with the 5 concurrent licenses. As more users log on, I'll need to upgrade. RAS seems the solution(25K), but the more I search user groups, I find problems passing parameters with this solution using SQL server. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you are using M$ SQL SERVER you should look into the free reporting services that will be released this month.

Depending on you security needs you might want to look at CE9 Pro. With the number of users you are supporting this might be the way to go and the 40K Processor license might pay off in dev costs if you customize eportfolio for distribution.

You know, I don't need the security. We've created a secure logon model using a scripting language called Witango. I don't need scheduling either, we want all reports live. All I need is a dependable method for sending the parameters to crystal reports and displaying them.
