Topic: Crystal Reports on intranet Posted: 14 Jun 2008 at 4:31am
Hi
Guys,
This is my first post. I'm going to start by asking you guys to point me in the
right direction. I'm a software engineering student and I haven't used crystal
reports before. As part of my duties in my summer job I write weekly reports.
These are sales reports that our distributed to my companies suppliers. Roughly
20 suppliers in total. Some look for excel, others pdf. As a project over the
next few months I am hoping to do the following
-Create a portal that the suppliers can log into and download the relevant
report
Hopefully they will select the type of report to view. Set the parameters such
as date range etc. Export to desired format.
What I need to know first of all is what software do I need?
Secondly their seems to be a few different online viewers (activex, java etc).
Which of these should I use?

Hi Conor,
You can use Crystal Reports XI to develop reports .
Use Crystal Reports Server to publish,disrtibute the reports.you will need to create Remote access login for your clients to login into your Report Server and allow them with necessary rights to do what they want.
You can download Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports Server trial edition from www.businessobjects.com
Also new version of Crystal Reports 2008 is out in market now yet used it so no comments on that.
