Hi,

<a href='YourReport.asp?param=1&param2=3&quot;>Link</a>

YourReport.asp is asp file which calls crystal ActiveX viewer, accept parameters if it is any.

Hope this helps.

Hi Julia,

When you say YourReport.asp is an asp file - how to I convert my .rpt file to an .asp file. I presume its more than just changing the file extension. Is it a particular type of compile option within crystal or what?

Thanks for you help in advance

You do not convert your report. To view crystal report on web you need to have crystal report viewer to be installed on pc.
Then you should have set of asp files which call crystal activeX object, set properties and connect to your rpt file and database.
The best solution would be to contact crystal support, they will explain in details and forward to you all needed files.
