Problem with CrystalRunTime.Application

[alebox20]

I have an asp page that uses crystal viewer to show a rpt report. I don't know why but it doesn't work more, seems I have a DLL problem.

The code:

***
Set session("oApp") = Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
***

The error:

***
Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x8007007E)
8007007e
***


I don't remember what DLL is used to create this object. Please help me.

Renato.

For this to work, Crystal Reports must be installed on the web server.

The name "CrystalRuntime.Application" kinda seems like the entire windows application. Do they maybe have something a little smaller than is designed to be used on a web server? Perhaps an object that converts the output of the report to HTML or perhaps to an image of the report.

Finally, even if the entire windows application is the proper thing to use, it is a bad idea to store a reference to it in a session variable. Unless you have a big dedicated web server and only a couple of users running one instance of the application for each user and then keeping that instance open for 20 mins after the user last uses the page... well that is a combination that will bring your server to its knees.

I reinstalled crystal reports and worked.
