Crystal Enterprise and ASP Newbie question.

[jkb17]

I posted this in the Crystal Reports forum but I found this forum and it seems more appropriate.

I am an experienced Crystal user\developer; however, I am new to the Crystal Enterprise software. We had created an ASP site for a client and this site was essentially a reporting site. All reports are built off MS SQL Server stored procedures that accept user inputted parameters via the ASP pages.

I had no problems displaying the Crystal Report via the browser when the Crystal software itself was installed on the same system as IIS.

Now, things have changed. The client now has IIS on one machine, SQL Server on another machine (this is fine) and Crystal Enterprise on the third machine.

Our final ViewReport.asp page calls and instantiates Crystal Objects (I guess this is the RDC implementation), but Crystal is no longer on the IIS machine.

How do I get IIS to communicate with the Crystal Enterprise software on the software machine? How do I alter my ASP code to remove the CreateObject calls and still get the reports to run?

It seems like I have to install some sort of Web Connector but all Crystal's documentation is vague.

If you need any further clarification for my situation then just ask.

Thank you in advance.

OK.

It looks like I figured out the connectivity issues.

Now, my only question is how do I pass the parameters that the user selected on my ASP page to the report.

Thanks in advance

Since your parameter page is an ASP, User form post method to post the parameters collected in that page to the asp page on the other server.
