Hi,
Here is a real newbie question!  I have an ASP.Net application and I have a report built in Crystal XI.  How do I run the report from my app? 
(FYI - "my app" is an extension of a system that has the crystal report viewer.  They run things through scripts, etc. I'm hoping to keep it simple and just launch the report in a new window.)
 
Thanks,
Joanne

There's sample code for how to do this available in the BO Developer site.  You can find it here: http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm - http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm  and click on Crystal Reports .NET SDK

Well, I didn't find anything useful there.  Maybe it's a question for an ASP forum.  Thanks anyway.

You can read the chapter from my Crystal Reports .NET book. I have it online for free. See Chapter 14.

ok, I've managed to get my report to open in the CrystalReportsViewer.  (It's fine for this report since I don't have to do any manipulation.)
 
But (there's always a but, isn't there?) now I can't figure out how to trap the "onClick" of the print button that renders in the viewer.  Is it possible?
 
Also, the path to the images for the buttons (print, next prev, last and first) are all down a local path.  If I include them in my web project, is there a way to tell Crystal Reports to use the new path?
 
Thanks (again)
Joanne
