Program a web front end

[Malcav]

Hi
Sorry for putting up 2 post but this is a new topic.
As in last post I am changing all our v9 crystal reports to xi
we currently use crystal enterprise to display the reports to the users on our intranet.
We have infoview (which i believe is the xi equivilent) however we dont like the infoview/crystal parameter page and would like to program a web front end that calls the reports with the parameters the front end send it.
Is this possible?
Which language would be best?
Could you point me in the direction of some resources and information on this topic?

Thanks
Ian

Well the standard these days is .net, but you can use whatever you'd like.

Keep in mind that it's no small chore, I would suggest rethinking this as multi-value parameters, and the subtleties of coding all data types can be quite a task.
