Reporting Advice/Help

I develop my web pages using VSNET 2003 (VB). I have the full developer
version of Crystal Reports 10. My Web site is hosted by a commercial ISP - I
simply buy the service. I want to run reports against my database (SQL
Server 2000). Based on this, I see two options: 1) User Crystal Reports or
2) Use SQL Server Reports. I cannot get the CR solution to work and based on
discussions with 2 ISPs, I cannot afford the SQL Reports solution.

Crystal Reports
==========
I build and incorporate CR 10 reports into my WebPages on my local system (I
use the CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine) and they work fine. When I
build a setup project and then copy that to my ISP site I get errors that it
cannot find the CrystalDecision s.CrystalReport s.Engine (I did add the msm
for that but it doesn't seem to affect what gets packaged?). I called the
ISP, thinking that they have to install CR on the server box. They tell me
that with the new CR the components are part of the account's environment.

If this is true, can someone tell me exactly what I need to do to get this
to work? The books I have and the articles I've found seem to assume that
you own the server - I do not!

SQL Server Reporting
===============
I've talked to 3 ISPs (I just buy a SQL Account - I don't own the server)
and one says it will cost $65/mo extra for SQL Server Reports capability and
the other two tell me that I basically need to buy a dedicated server to
make this work? Is this true? If anyone knows of an ISP that offers SQL
accounts with reporting capability at a reasonable rate, please let me know
(we are a non-profit with limited funds available)

TIA

Hello everyone, I have recently developed a web application across my clients intranet. We used ASP with Interdev 6.0 and SQL server as the backend. They have now come to me asking me to develop some reports that can be accessed via a drill down within the app. They don't have Crystal Reports so this is not an option. Can anyone suggest an alternative to using crystal reports to publish dynamic reports via the web and ASP?

Hi My users, use ms access for querying and reporting on a backend database, however they need to replace ms access with a new reporting tool. I’m thinking of developing my own reporting engine in C# to replace the existing ms access model. Are there any c# reporting application samples that I could look at to get started?

We are trying to implement Windows Error Reporting from within our VB.Net application. Basically we want to replace the standard unhandled exception message we use with the Windows Error Reporting message. This will provide our users the ability to send the crash report to Microsoft, which in turn will allow us to get it. We did a search for Visual Studio help to see what that might turn up and came across the “ReportFault”...

Hi, It seems like determining element position in a web page is a difficult task. In the position reporting source code I've looked at there are special fixes for at least some versions of Safari and Opera. I am doing a lot of dragdrop experimentation and in some situations need a position reporting function. The function doesn't need to report the positions of exotic elements like images in button elements; however, I would like a...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
