Using the asmx file you will have to create a windows client program to call the service from your desktop.
mew_lobo 16-Jul-06 16:42I'm using Visual Studio.Net 2005 with Crystal reports. I tried the tutorial on Publishing and consuming a report as a webservice from MSDN. When I run the windows form, I get error messages saying that the report failed to load. It works fine if I give the file path to the .rpt file, but when its been published as a webservice and I give the URL, I get the error. I have all the sample reports and database(MS Access Db). If anyone knows, plz let me know.

Thanks for your answer. I´m using Crystal Reports XI developer edition. The version of the dll´s that appears when fails the load is 11.0.9500.50
Do you know any other tool for web reporting that allows to put the reports in a shared hosting environment? Regards
You may want to consider a web portal like rePORTAL at http://www.reportalsoftware.com. This allow you to publish your Crystal reports on the web in a secure fashion.

| My report seems to be showing saved data. Is this a mistake in my report or do I need to add some code to refresh the data in the report before diplaying it? | |

Could you explain to me a little bit more on what you are trying to do so that I can understand the problem?

I have created an online application using Visual Studio. The application connects to SQL Server Database. I am trying to read data from a table and display it my report when user accesses the report over the web. Currently, the report is publishing 'saved data'.
I have to open my report in Crystal Reports and refresh the data. Then I save the report. Then I open Visual Studio and right click on the report. I go to 'Publish as web service'. Then I rebuild the project.
When opening the report over the web. I get the data from the point where I rebuilt. If I add another record to the database, it doesn't show on the report (over the web) until I follow the steps above.
Do I need to add a section of code to refresh the data in the report before publishing the report or is there a setting in your code that I need to change?
