History
|
ColdFusion MX: Changed data source connection behavior: Crystal Reports now establishes an independent connection to the data source. The connection is not subject to any ColdFusion data source-specific restrictions. For example, the Crystal Reports server can access a data source, regardless of whether it is disabled in the ColdFusion Administrator.

Example<!--- This view-only example shows the use of cfreport --->
<h3>cfreport Tag<h3>
<p>cfreport lets reports from the Crystal Reports Professional report writer
display through a ColdFusion interface. To run, the tag requires the
name of the report. cfreport can also pass information to the report
file displayed, to change the output conditions.
<p>This example would run a report called "monthlysales.rpt " and pass it an
optional filter condition to show only the information for a subset
of the report.
<cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'>
{Departments.Department} = `International'
</cfreport>
<p>Substitute your report files and filters for this code. cfreport can put
Crystal Reports into web pages.
