FilePro question

[Ken Cole]

Hi Howie,

I extract data into Crystal reports directly by using cystals XML/ODBC
driver.

There are some really good instructions on the Cyrsta Reports web site
to set this up.  Then just make a normal CGI call that returns XML data,
including the schema, and Crystal will read it in and let the user use
the data for what ever report the user is working on.

Very seamless, quite quick.
