...with a few easy steps. Whether you have dozens of reports or you're just getting started, ReCrystallize Pro helps you to leverage your investment in Crystal Reports.

Want quick, easy web reporting? Use ReCrystallize Pro to create web pages to run your reports with the Crystal Web Component Server / Crystal Enterprise.

Want more power, customization, flexibility, and security for your web reports without using Crystal Enterprise? Use ReCrystallize Pro to quickly create Active Server Pages for your reports. ReCrystallize slashes the development time and learning curve involved in publishing your Crystal Reports on the web with Active Server Pages.

Using the options you choose, ReCrystallize Pro creates all the web pages (including JavaScript or ASP code) needed to run your Crystal Reports on the web. If your report requires parameters, ReCrystallize Pro can set them automatically or create a web page to gather the required information from your users before running the report.

Since ReCrystallize Pro produces all the code needed to run your report, no programming is required. However, you are free to modify the web pages that ReCrystallize Pro creates in order to customize the appearance or behavior of your report.

The options available in ReCrystallize Pro include:

• setting your data source user name and password so that the user is not prompted and cannot see this information when the report is run
• automatically setting your report parameters to appropriate values such as the current date or the first/last date in the week, month, or year
• using a web page to prompt the user for your report parameters using drop-down lists, text input fields, option buttons, or checkboxes
• retrieving parameter value options from your database at runtime so that up-to-date options are always available
• presetting, automatically selecting, or allowing the user to select the report format; choices include the ActiveX, Java, HTML Frames & HTML page-on-demand web viewers and Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or RTF file formats.
• sending reports by email as Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, or RTF file attachments -- no need for users to wait online for long reports to complete.
