Is the "ASP Report Server" the only non-Crystal Enterprise solution to
dynamically create reports on the web? I have spent the past couple days
researching crystal web reporting and it appears as if this is the case. I
would like to be able to create an ISAPI dll using the Crystal Reports
ActiveX Desinger Runtime (CRAXDRT.DLL) with Delphi so I can leverage our
existing Delphi code base.  Is this possible?  Or can the CRAXDRT.DLL only
be used within the ASP runtime?

Other questions:

1.  What exactly is the ASP Report Server?  Is it simply the rptserver.asp
file or a combination of rptserver.asp and CRAXDRT.DLL or something else?

2. From what I have read, the ASP report server supports 5 concurrent
licenses.  How is this managed?  The documentation on the crystaldecisions
site indicates it is managed by counting the open session("oApp") objects.
There is property on the Application object called GetLicenseStatus.  Is
this property talking directly with the asp runtime to determine licenses in
use or is there another way licenses are managed?  This whole license issue
leads to my suspicion that ASP is the only web solution.  I hope I am wrong.

3.  If there is a non-ASP solution, could someone please direct me to some
documentation or sample code.

Thanks,

Kevin

Try asking on the newsgroups at news.cogniza.com, I've never actually seen a
Delphi application dynamically create a Crystal report, nor have I used Delphi
to feed data to a web report.  The web reports I've deployed have used the
native Crystal data access to go directly to the data source.
