Hello, everyone! I'm new to Crystal Reports, and have downloaded the 30-day trial version of CR 2008! I use Coldfusion 7 and 8 for implementing Web apps, and would like to know if anybody has experience accessing a CR 2008 report from within a Coldfusion application? I've successed with exporting a CR report to PDF, then launching the PDF report from Coldfusion; but I would like to launch the native .rpt report from my Coldfusion app? Many thanks to anybody who can help me understand how to do this!

 Right... sure if you have an example, by all means, please show me! I actually am familiar with the cfreport tag and have used it for generating CFReportBuilder reports. When I tried using the tag with CR2008, nothing happens, but maybe your add of the username/password will make a difference. Note: I am trying to access a CR report from the latest version of Crystal Reports... Thanks!

Hi member_profile.asp?PF=3352&FID=6 - etja : I'd like to know if you solved this problem? I've been bothered by this recently. The situation is that I used cfreport tag to display the content generated by a .rpt file, but it came out with nothing but blank. The cfreport tag works fine with Coldfusion Report Builder but no luck with crystal report. If you have solved this ,could you post how you did it? many thanks in advance. Note:CR v2008 and CF MX8 |

| Was this ever resolved? I have a problem displaying a Crystal Reports report on Coldfusion 8. The code on adobe website returns a blank page. |
