Crystal Reports?

[Brian]

Did a search for Crystal Reports, and the threads were from last year, so I thought I'd ask...

Do our servers support Crystal Reports? If not, is there any report generation tool we can use to control the layout for a printed form from a web app?

There's come tools for creating pdf's via web apps. Data enabling them usually costs more.

Crystal reports is included in Visual.NET, which we don't install (as in it costs lots and lots of money per site). You can probably get the necessary DLLs installed, 25$ each, if you can find which ones need to be installed, and you have a proper license for it.

Actually, you are going to need the Crystal Reports Web Server license which cost way more than the (roughly) $1000 Visual Studio cost. The only redistributable that is included with VS is for desktop apps.

You would be better off looking at the report starter kit at http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=9&tabid=47
