I have been to the Seagate Crystal reports web site and have found sample code to display reports on the web using ASP. The problem being, when I try to create instances of objects, I get an "invalid progID" error. For example, Server.CreateObject("Crystal.CRPE.Application") or Server.CreateObject("WebReportSource.WebReportSource"). Does this mean that we are missing components on our Web server?
 
yes, you need to install crystal reports onto the web server, this will install all the necessary components for you
 
We have installed Crystal reports on the server. I don't think we have any end-user licenses though. This shouldn't affect the way we display reports though should it? Is there anything else that could be missing?
 
In version 8.0 you use RDC so that'd be
Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
