1. No - to slow for CF 4.x, 5.0
2.Currrenlty have CR 8 to 9.0. Would like to use CR 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0
3. Financial, HRMS, Budgets, CEO reports.
4. If you made it faster, it would give an option other than Crystal Reports web Component Server (CR 8.0) or Crystal Enterprise (CR 9.0 ).

just my 2 cents.....

I have Coldfusion MX and Crystal Reports 9.0. I'd love to use these programs together if I could figure out how to get them to work together. Where is the detailed step by step information about how to integrate them. I've used the examples in the Coldfusion books and they did'nt work and Crystal Reports documentation does not even mention Coldfusion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Installing Crystal Reports 8.5 with the Typical or Complete installation options will not integrate properly with ColdFusion MX. This TechNote explains the steps to install Crystal Reports 8.5 for integration with ColdFusion MX.

Integrating Crystal Reports 8.5 with ColdFusion MX

My company currently has about 60 reports that we use. However, we are working on a new versoin and we are making a few stylistic changes to our reports. So, I'm looking for a good way to capture some of these style changes so that I can apply them to all of the reports. Any ideas??? I am attempting to learn how to use the XML Expert in Crystal. Is XML the best solution to my problem? If so, where can I find good instructions on how to use the XML Expert?

We have several dozen Crystal reports on our intranet. We HATE the way Crystal 8.5 and 9 impliment their enterprise server and would love for better intergration with our ColdFusion MX profesional server. We currently provide a link to the crystal entreprise ASP HTLM Viewer passing the name of the report. This is ugly, slow and printing is a multi-step nightmare.

I just found the Technotes this last Friday (July 2nd) and I am planing to give them a try the first chance I get. To see if we can use the functionality of the cfreport tag to provide a better reporting experince.

WE ARE REALLY looking forward to the (hopefully) new functionality of the ColdFusion Report Generation deomonstrated by Ben at our local user group.

Of course, we will have to migrate all our current crystal reports, not a small task. But it could be very well worth it to us.

I would like more information about how you use Crystal Enterprise to view reports using ColdFusion. We've tried in vain for 2 years now and I've had it up to here. We've tried 9.0, 8.5 and even 8.0 all to no avail. Wish one of the 2 companies would care a little about how many complaints they are getting.

Calling Crystal report from coldfusion but I am not getting report. How can I integrate Crystal report with Coldfusion.

Thanks,
