legacy distributable report requires .cdx development in ado .net

B

Bernie Yaeger

For more reasons than is worth going into, I have to retain a legacy
distributable Crystal report. This report requires .dbf and .cdx files that
I am able to create in .net using the odbc driver. However, for the report
to work properly, I have to generate .cdx index files for these. Here the
odbc driver is of no help.

I could use, say, a CA Visual Objects exe in the background to generate
these files, but I'd rather do it with a managed data provider - any idea if
this can be done, and if so, what do I have to download and install to do
it?

Thanks for any help.

Bernie,

Whew! That's a tough one. Let us know how it goes.

Programmer's Heaven is advertising one named Apollo. It makes me nervous
that it didn't get a hit in all the catalogs (at least on the first google
page). My google search is below and its possible other catalogs just left
out the cdx. I seem to recall a splash on this tool in early .NET days and
have heard nothing since. Could be that I am not listening to the right
sources.

managed provider .net cdx

Shooting the manager that came up with this one isn't an option?

Hi Kathleen,

Shooting the manager is an option, but then I might have to kill the entire
exec staff, and that's too much even for me!

Tx for your help.

Bernie
