Results
As a result the set of ASP pages was designed to look through the Crystal
Reports stored on a server. This application enables the user to choose the
data source, for which the reports should be generated, as well as to filter
the data placed into a report (to select the data elements for which the report
is generated). The additional requirement - application should support Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, and Mozilla browsers. All the data used in
the reports is stored in the database. Filtering this data is executed on the
basis of user's choice.

Technical peculiarities
This project implementation implied solving two tasks. First, we had to make
the server side generate Web pages containing the Crystal Reports. At that,
reports had to be represented both in usual HTML-format and by means of ActiveX
component or
|
|
Java Applet built into the Web page. Second, the client side scripts and HTML
code, that implement the business logic layer of the Web Management Console,
had to be written so that they would work correctly with all types of browsers
to support.
