Exporting Crystal 11 Report to PDF

Question

Hi,
I wish to run crystal reports on web server from asp code ( or any other method ).
The code that is in use was not written by me so I don't really follow what is going on.
We wish to run and export the report to pdf so that the user can view the pdf in their browser.
1. How do i check that my new installation is setup correctly?
2. The code is use is allong the lines of:
<!-- #include file="AlwaysRequiredStepsExport.asp" -->
<%
'Create a reference to the tables collection of the main report
Set mainReportTableCollection = oRpt.Database.Tables
Dim connProps
Dim connProp
Dim this_dsn
Dim this_db
For Each mnTable in mainReportTableCollection
     With mnTable.ConnectionProperties
        .Item("user ID") = username
        .Item("Password") = password
        .Item("DSN") = DSNName
        .Item("Database") = Database
     End With
       set mnTable.Qualifiers(1) = "mydatabasename"
       set mnTable.Qualifiers(2) = "dbo"
Next
Set CrystalExportOptions = oRpt.ExportOptions
ExportFileName = Request.QueryString("rep") & "_" & Request.QueryString("user") & CStr(Year(Date)) & CStr(Month(Date)) & CStr(Day(Date)) & CStr(Timer * 100) & ".PDF"
Path = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED")                    
While (Right(Path, 1) <> "\" And Len(Path) <> 0)         
     iLen = Len(Path) - 1                                                 
     Path = Left(Path, iLen)                                              
Wend
ExportDirectory = Path
ExportType = "31" ' pdf option
CrystalExportOptions.DiskFileName = ExportDirectory & ExportFileName
CrystalExportOptions.FormatType = CInt(ExportType)
CrystalExportOptions.DestinationType = CInt(1)
oRpt.Export False                   
Response.Redirect (ExportFileName)
%>
The resulting page looks like:
http://myserver/temp/sbrp41_sthornton20096225300552.PDF
however the result is "The page cannot be found" with no pdf file created in the website\temp directory.
I have placed response.end after each step to try and see where\if an error occurs but no luck.
Any advice\help appreciated.

Hi,
Please ensure that the Session contains "oRpt" - Crystal Report Engine Report Object
before using the following line:
Set CrystalExportOptions = oRpt.ExportOptions
What happens if you change it to:
Set ExportOptions = Session("oRpt").ExportOptions
Please let me know the results.
Thanks,
Neeraj
