Web-based thin-client solutions

You can also use this entire solution over the web for a true thin-client implementation You can use the same set of code (Com objects) to extract the data from the custom system and its meta-layer, and pass it to an ADO object. The CRAXDRT (using unbound fields) can then access this ADO record set and publish the report.

The main difference is that the report ends up being produced in an EPF format instead of RPT and it gets fed back to the user via the Web server in a viewer rather then in a preview window of an application.

To provide such a web solution, you would need to do your development in an ASP environment rather than a Windows-based development environment like VB, VC++ or Delphi.
