Viewing Crystal Report from CF page
- Thread starter accuransx
- Start date
I actually put a button on a CF screen which launches an ASP page (because I had a parameter to pass). You really should not need RAS to do it this way --- just Crystal 9 Developer on the server.
Within the CF where I preview a Purchase order I have:
---
<cfoutput> <a href="Menu.cfm">Back To Menu</a>
<form action=crysrep\PurchaseOrder-dynamic.asp?PO_Number=#URL.PO_Number# method="POST" name="parmform">
<p align="center">
<input type="button" name="B1" value="View & Print Purchase Order Form" onClick="openreportwindow(this.form)">
</p>
</cfoutput>
----
Then the asp page you see referenced can be done straight off of Crystal Decision's examples that come with the product. I 'cheat' and use a product called Re-Crystallize' to create the page, then modify it to our standards. If you need help with this page - let me know

Thank you for your help Jymm...at last there is someone
Actually, i've done all these in my previous project, but just lost. Previously, i called a .rpt file just by giving an URL like or BUT before we can do that, I did a few thing on CF Admin page, somethin to do with setting a folder for the viewers ( i guess?) and after checking that the CF Server and the Crystal Report Server are running, my reports can be viewed by any browser with any viewer i choose, complete with zoom, print, save, buttons etc.
Can anybody guide me on how to setup CF Server to work with Crystal Reports Server and how to install the viewers?
