How To…ClientReport via HTTP

Question

“How can I use the ClientReport and ClientReportExplorer over HTTP?”

Solution

  myClientReport.ServerConnection.Port := 80;

  myClientReportExplorer.Execute;

end;

myClientReport.ServerConnection.Address := 'www.digital-metaphors.com/rbWebPub/report.dll';

myClientReport.ServerConnection.Port := 80;

myClientReportExplorer.Execute;
