I have an existing .rpt file that I run via Crystal Reports XI application. I run it everytime someone needs it. I just change the variables in the formula fields and select expert. I want to know if it is possible to create a web application where I can
input it's variables such as dates and other variable fields and run this .rpt file and get the excel file output I always get. If it is possible, how do I do it? If not, how do I get this to work given that I have this existing .rpt file?

Calling an existing .rpt file to a web application

Hi Everyone,
I have an existing .rpt file that I run via Crystal Reports XI application. I run it everytime someone needs it. I just change the variables in the formula fields and select expert. I want to know if it is possible to create a web application where I can input it's variables such as dates and other variable fields and run this .rpt file and get the excel file output I always get. If it is possible, how do I do it? If not, how do I get this to work given that I have this existing .rpt file?
Appreciate the help much. :)

Also remember if you are planning to develop ASP MVC application, try to add the CRViewer into a normal WebForm page.
