nevermind... found this on the crystal reports website Unfortunately there is currently no integration with Crystal Reports 8 and the CF report tag. ColdFusion ships with version 5.0 of Crystal Reports and Macromedia has released patches to allow version 6 and version 7 to work with the CF report tag. As this time there is no fix for Crystal Reports 8 to work with ColdFusion.
that sucks.

I'm trying to connect to an oracle db, and I have created a dsn using the crystal reports oracle 8 driver, which is verified as working in the cf administrator. this is what the CF5 docs say: <cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'> {Departments.Department} = 'International' </cfreport> and then on the same page but different they say: <cfreport report = "report_path" orderBy = "result_order" username = "username" password = "password" formula = "formula"> </cfreport> when i try this: <cfreport report="dailytimesheets.rpt" username="cf" password="fusion"></cfreport> it can't find the report, even though the cfm and the rpt files are in the same directory. when i do this: <cfreport report="D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt" username="cf" password="fusion"></cfreport> I get the error: Error occurred while processing CFREPORT An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine. Error number 692 ocurred (Error in File D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt: Invalid export DLL or export format.). My thinking is that the cfdocs are just plain wrong and my syntax is right.. but I must be missing something. All help is appreciated.
