Need help with basic web reporting

[ttex]

I have CR 9 and CE 9. All I need to do is to pull some data out of SQL server and display a simple web report. I need to pass a parameter of an account number to select the correct data. All of the documentation I've seen require the use of ASP or JSP. I don't want to use either of those.

How do I even start to do this? and why does Crystal Decision not have very good documentation on basic usage???

Please help, thanks in advance.

I don't have CE 9 yet, but I assume that if you want to use the equivalent of ePortfolio (I think that they have a light version in 9), you would just create your report with a parameter (Insert->Field Object), reference the parm in the reccorrd selection formula (database->Edit Selection Formula->Record) then load it into ePortfolio and point your users to it, it will prompt when they run it.

You can send the wanted data in URL. For Example your account number is 123

Note, that I'm using Apache, so that's why cgi, and viewer in activeX. The prompt0 is just for to avoid the cache.
