newbie question on web.config for .net

I have a web application that has crystal imbedded in it. Microsoft recommended adding this code to the web.config

<businessObjects>
<crystalReports>
<printControl>
<add key="url" value="http//myserver/PrintControl.cab" />
</printControl>
</crystalReports>
</businessObjects>

I can't figure out where in the web.config I add it... I have tried in several sections.. I can't get it to run.

Here is my current web.config

<?xml version="1.0"?><configuration>

Did you try it as its own section?
Say after the </runtime>

Hi,

I think you can avoid all this code just by drag and drop a crystal control into a page. As far as i know, the web.config entries will be auto updated.

The example I saw here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227537%28VS.90%29.aspx

shows it being placed after <configSections>, which I believe is a child of <config>. Try placing it under <config> (or if you like, after <configSections>).
