How does ReCrystallize Pro work and how will it help me to make my Crystal Reports available on the web?
ReCrystallize Pro works with your existing Crystal Reports .rpt files. It creates ASP web pages that process your reports on your web server, refresh the data, and then display the reports in a web browser.The ReCrystallize Pro wizard examines your Crystal Reports .rpt file to determine what information is needed to run the report. For example, a user id and password may be required to log in to your database. Parameter values such as dates may also be needed. ReCrystallize Pro asks how you would like to set parameter values; you may prompt your users for some values while setting and hiding other values. ReCrystallize Pro then creates all of the web pages needed for your Crystal Report. The web pages that ReCrystallize Pro produces are “ready to run” immediately. If desired, you may customize the appearance or behavior of the web pages using a text or web editor.The process of using using the ReCrystallize Pro wizard to create web pages for a report usually takes about 5 minutes.
