Greetings, I'm new here. I want to have Crystal Report generate PDF reports for me on my site. I'm getting an error message to install the Crystal Reports redistributable and if I create a WebSetup project, it just converts the msm to a msi. So, my first question is can I use Crystal Reports here? (Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Basic, Crystal Reports 2008, or whatever will work.) The second is, if so, how? Thanks, Jamie
Hi, CR is not supported here but you can use the Microsoft Reports from Visual Studio. I have extensive background with CR and can honestly say I like the newer Microsoft reports a lot more.

I'll have to agree with Mark on this one. I've spenta few days moving Crystal reports to Microsoft Reports,so I can get them working online with DASP and its been far easier.. There is a tool that will convert crystal to ms reports.
Thanks. I eventually gave up on Microsoft Reports (and ABCpdf). I'm using a response object to export to Excel instead. That works better for us anyway. Just in case we switch back, are you talking about the tool from KTL solutions?
