I'm trying to create a report to feed off a stored procedure in the VB.NET environment. I have about ten .aspx in my project, and just added a new Crystal Report to my project. I bound it to a stored procedure, laid out my fields, and put the redirect in my button's code on the .aspx page. Now I'm thinking none of this will work.

After building my project, I navigated through my .aspx pages to my report. I was kind of expecting the report to be laid-out in the browser somehow, instead it asked me to open or save a file. Upon opening, it kicked off Crystal Reports 9 on my machine (so this report is useless to users who don't have CR installed).

So my question is: 1) is there a way to have the report appear inside IE (without requiring a client install of CR)? and if so, 2) how can I pass parameters (there's 3 of them) to my stored procedure so the user gets the information s/he requested?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

For question (1), you can export the report output in various formats, including web pages.

For the other, have you tried a Search? I'm sure I've seen lots of discussions of the topic

You also get better responses if your heading highlights the particular topic you are asking about.
