I have a "static" web site I built with Front Page. I'd like to include reports
from my Enterprise system, but I'm not a programmer and my programmers don't
want to learn how to get reports from Enterprise.
I want to keep my web site in Front Page so Corporate will let me maintain it.
How can I view Enterprise reports in my web site?
Do you want to view the latest instance or view on demand (run the
report when requested)? Your answer is probably "both!".
CRC provides "glue" to transition from "static" to "dynamic". You put
the static request HTML page in your Front Page (or other) web site.
Configure the page for the name of the report you want to view. We do the rest.
And, yes, there are two "glue" versions - one to view the latest (successful)
instance of a report, and one to run the report (with parameters!) when
your web site user clicks the link.

I want to link my Crystal Reports like web pages, so that users can
click a link to go from one report to another.
How can I link Enterprise reports together?
So you think that reports that appear in web pages should act like, well, web pages?
CRC provides "glue" to link reports in a dynamic way, so that they are peer-to-peer links
and not parent-child links such as reports-to-subreports.
The links are within a context, so that a linked report can be run on-demand
with parameters that come from the link itself. This is different from the manual
linking supported by Enterprise - it's done by report name within formulas.
