I hope this hasn't been asked too many times, but I didn't seem to find an answer to my question when I searched.
I'd like to run some crystal reports connecting to a MS SQL 2000 Server, without making the users go through ePortfolio.
I have them running right now on a separate server on CR8.5, but we don't have enough licenses on that server, and we're getting concurrent user errors.
I'm using .asp pages to pass the parameters, etc., and when I try to run the reports the same way on the CE server, I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". The "testconnectivity" function on my .asp page returns "false", although I am actually able to run the report in Crystal on that server with no problems. I can even run it from ePortfolio. But I don't want to do that.
I've seen that it is possible to run reports outside of ePortfolio using .csp pages. I'm very comfortable with .asp pages, so I don't mind the learning curve for .csp, but I just don't know where to start. Is there a site, or someone here who could get me started on this?
I won't bother posting the code to the .asp page unless someone wants to see it.
Thanks in advance,
Brenda
