Hello,

This seems such an obvious thing to want to do - can we do it?


We want to send a request to a Crystal Reports "Server", along with a packet of XML (or whatever format Crystal wants), and say "create report x using this data". that's it.

The Crystal Reports Server will be remote from the requesting party, which is a *nix web server.

If we could go further and select the output device, i.e. which printer, that would be a bonus.
