Crystal Report Export to PDF Inline Fails

I am working (unsuccessfully ) with Crystal XI. I create a report and
export it to pdf. It works fine when I set it to an attachment, but
nothing appears to happen when I switch over to inline. Here is my
code:
Dim CRLeaveSlip As New LeaveSlip
CRLeaveSlip.Set DataSource(Mast erDataSet)

Dim s As MemoryStream

s =
DirectCast(CRLe aveSlip.ExportT oStream(ExportF ormatType.Porta bleDocFormat),
MemoryStream)

Page.Visible = False
Response.ClearH eaders()
Response.ClearC ontent()
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/pdf"
Response.Append Header("content-length",
s.Length.ToStri ng())
Response.Append Header("content-disposition", "inline;
filename=LeaveS lip.pdf")
Response.Binary Write(s.ToArray )
Response.Flush( )
Response.Close( )
Response.End()

This works fine but as an attachment:
Dim CRLeaveSlip As New LeaveSlip
CRLeaveSlip.Set DataSource(Mast erDataSet)

Dim s As MemoryStream

s =
DirectCast(CRLe aveSlip.ExportT oStream(ExportF ormatType.Porta bleDocFormat),
MemoryStream)
Page.Visible = False
Response.ClearH eaders()
Response.ClearC ontent()
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/pdf"
Response.Append Header("content-length",
s.Length.ToStri ng())
Response.Append Header("content-disposition", "attachment ;
filename=LeaveS lip.pdf")
Response.Binary Write(s.ToArray )
Response.Flush( )
Response.Close( )
Response.End()
A couple of other things I noted while bashing my head against a brick
wall:

The AcroRd32.exe process starts when the inline page is sent to the
browser, even though the page never appears to change
IE reports "Downloaded 0KB" in the bottom left of the screen in the
status bar

Setting the content-encoding to gzip sets IE to a blank page

Any help is greatly appreciated,

I am doing a support rotation for our massive ASP app. We use Crystal Reports / Enterprise. By some magic which I am unfamiliar with Crystal Enterprise allows the creation of a report on the server, then the report containing the data can be viewed within the browser using a Crystal Viewer. My experience with Crystal is limited to VB client apps, so this is the limit of my understanding of precisely how this works in the ASP world. Once...

I have an intermittent problem, when viewing a crystal report. This problem only happens to some users and some report formats. When they try to view the report in Microsoft Word format the system prompts them to login (User name and Password). If they view it in PDF format they do not get the login prompt. I do not get the login prompt at all. This problem occurs with users on the Internet and our Intranet. I checked the web site and...

I am currently exporting a crystal report using code. This works fine and exports the report to a word document onto disk using DiskFileDestinationOptions() and ExportOptions However when i drill down the report (hence looking at a group), the export i am doing exports the whole report not the current group view on the crystalreportviewer.

I am currently using ASP.Net 2003 and will be upgrading to 2005 sometime in the near future. I have been having issues with using Crystal Reports that were included with .Net to handle my reporting needs. I was wondering if anybody has an opinion on how the new reportViewer control works in comparison to Crystal. One of the main problems I have been having with Crystal Reports is that they seem to load very slow no matter how small the...

I'm having a problem with Crystal report.net with ASP.NET. The problem occurs when exporting the report. The report uses a discrete parameter with multiple values. When the report is loaded into the crystal report view it shows all the values from the discrete parameter. But when I export the report it only shows the values from the last discrete parameter value enter. My code is listed below:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
