We don't use the Mid-Tier so I can' really say what could be wrong there. My understanding is that it should work on Mid-Tier as well.
Do you know if the Active Link is actually firing and just not creating the report? Can you test it on the actual User Tool (Thick Client) and not the Mid-Tier to see if you get the same result? I'll be glad to tell you how I have mine setup if that would be any help to you. Andy L.

Just wondering. I tried the exact same thing you did and it's not working at all. I'm wondering if I need to install something separately? I'm able to create a report from the mid tier manually, but not from an "Open Window" active link.

I found that if I set the destination to "File", even though the report type is AR System, it prompts you for the filename when you run it and you can select .csv as the file type at that point. This is the first time I have really every played with the report creator. In the past I have always used MACRO's, but I felt like I needed to get away from that method. Andy L.

Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 9:27 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Report from button I created a report that runs from a button press. The button causes an active link to fire which does an open Window, Window Type=Report. It appears to work fine, but I would like to have it go to a .csv file and I have been unable to figure out how to do so. The only report types I have as options are Crystal Reports and AR System. Is there something I am missing or is there no way to do this? Andy L.
