calling Crystal Report 8 from ASP

Hello friends

I want to connect to Crystal reports 8 enterprise edition from ASP.HOw to connect it ?
My system already had  crystal reports 8.0. installed on it.Im using Windows 2000.In the start menu,on the Crystal report Tools menu, i have the crystal report web component manager.

Now do i have to do anything with that web component manager to make the report connected from ASP or only coding is required? If so pleasecan any one tell some coding know how ?

THis question i have asked in this forum in Crystal reports section but 8 months ago,that too on CR 8.5.But I could not oppurtunity to work on Crystal reports with ASP.
Is there any difference in the code in using Developer edition,Enterprise edition or professional edition

Hey Brad
Thanks really for ur nice link
But in that i found it bit difficult to understand.

I found the code to create a report in multiple pages. For example when i unzipped the exe file, there is one folder "Beginner' under which "Begin Here" folder is present.In that ,there is "SimplePreviewReport.asp" which explains clearly what to do.But the code is keeping on going in various pages(from what i have seen so far).I think we can put all those in a single page.But is this much code stuff you have to write a call a report(i hope you too have seen that zip file)?

Is there any way where i can write fewer steps to achieve this ?;in the process also i can get it memorized automatically in my mind too.Can u help me ?

But Credit to you for giving me a wonderful link.

Thanks and Regards
RR

Unfortunetly, there is no easy answer to this...and yes, the coding is long and rediculous. As shown above...

I do not own a copy of CR so I don't know all that is involved. However, as many times as I have seen people wanting help with CR and ASP, I can only imagine how tough it must be.
