Seagate Crystal Reports is the leading desktop query and report writer, with powerful data analysis capabilities and numerous report type options. BFC's Crystal Report Writer classes assists you in writing custom Crystal Reports DLLs as well as running reports and passing parameters to them.
Reports can exist on the local machine, on the network, or across the Internet.
The Report classes are designed to communicate either directly with the Crystal Print Engine or indirectly through the Crystal Web Report Server. The Internet applications you can build are capable of doing high quality printing and handling very large reports , while under high security control. Users can ask for specific, detailed database information across the Internet and get back great looking, printable reports. Report pages can be broken down properly, with headers, footers, page numbers, accurately placed images, etc. This creates a highly polished appearance and avoids the fragmented look caused by wrapping lines and improperly split images that result from printing from a web browser.
