  Calling an existing .rpt file to a web application

  Feb 20, 2012 01:03 AM|jazzer09|LINK

  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. :)

  You can create a simple asp.net application and load the crystal report file from .aspx page by passing the parameters for your dates as input.

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