Internet Reporting with RB, PDF add -on and Delphi 6

edited August 2001 in General
We've used RB for years in our projects with much success
and would like to use it in a web based project.

Has anyone created a web service with Delphi 6
that utilizes RB and the PDF add-on to display reports
via the web in a browser?

Is there another/better way to accomplish this with RB.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated...

    We have a number of customers who have built solutions like this or are
    a building them now. I talked to several at the recent BorCon 2001.

    Sorry I do not have any specific info, but the approach is being used
    successfully.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the input and that's encouraging since this is the
    track we expect to proceed on for a new commerical product.

    I expected some bumps in the road. I would welcome RB
    support to chime in and confirm if the multi-threading issues
    have been implemented/ resolved. I don't suppose you have
    a list of the threading issues handy, would you. I'd hate to have
    to recreate the wheel you've already solved.

    That's also interesting about the CSS device, but PDF is
    definitely the target for us at this point.

    We are also evaluating Nevrona's Report Server which
    supports PDF and have implemented Crystal Info, now
    called Crystal Enterprise, for various clients. However,
    neither of these quite fit the solution we are after. As
    far as I know, and I've looked, there no other options
    worth considering.
    We definitely prefer RB as our reporting engine and I
    would expect that a robust Report Server for RB
    would be a winner. Perhaps Digital-Metaphors is
    listening?

    Sincerely,

    Kevin

    Thanks. To run a report, click on the Custom Report button on the toolbar
    (it's in the second-to-last band of tool buttons on the top row, next to the
    one that looks like a stack of folders). Select some criteria that will
    include your time entries (e.g., date range = "All" and leave the rest
    defaulted), and select a template if you like (or let it default), then
    click the Generate button.

    Mike
