I'm considering the following solution for providing reports over the web as an alternative to crystal reports.

A standard HTML form collects information such as date range, sort order and other criteria. The form is posted to an ASP page with a VFP com object that accepts these parmeters, processes the data and uses a standard VFP FRX to print the document to a PDF file using an appropriate driver. Then a response.redirect in the ASP after the VFP COM object to send the user to the PDF file to open it in the browser. Then they can save the PDF file, print it, or even email it. This solution would also allow me to use existing reports and reuse a lot of VFP code.

This would be an internal Intranet app with a few dozen users at most and the reports should take only a few seconds to run.

I guess my primary concern is if the VFP COM will not have the necessary permissions and accessability to print the FRX from the ASP page. So before going off and trying to build this and put it together I thought I run it by the experts on this forum.

Thanks in advance!
