This is just a general comment since i've used Crystal off and on since 6.0 days. I try to keep my apps as simple as possible. I avoid using the Crystal Viewer if at all possible from now on. I'm assuming this is still an ActiveX control a user needs to download? Settings on a client browser always tends to muck things up with ActiveX controls. With Crystal .NET, their PDF generation capabilities seems really good. Ok, granted, some of you above are having problems with the export but a PDF file is way better than the Crystal viewer. Why not have the server generate the PDF and throw that to the user? I'm doing this right now in my apps and it works great. All a user needs is the free Reader....and saves me from having to trouble-shoot exports and activex problems on the clients. And one more thing, I would not use Crystal for simple reports that you can produce in HTML. I only use Crystal when users absolutely require the printed form to look really spiffy. Crystal Reports is a maintenance nightmare IMHO and will avoid whereever possible. ;-). LH
