windows clients: views, reports, web browsers and printing
Hi,
I would like to know if to use CR.NET I need to find an ISP who supports it?
Is there any way to make reports in CR.NET without depend on my ISP?
Because, I made my reports but when I upload them, they failed and my ISP
told me they do not support CR.NET.
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks,
Erich.
