To export to HTML
1.
With the report you want exported active, go to the File menu, point to Export, and then click Export
Report.
Tip:
Another way to do this is to click the Export button on the Standard toolbar.
The Export dialog box appears.
2.
From the Format drop-down list, select HTML 3.2 or HTML 4.0.
3.
Select a destination from the Destination drop-down list.
The rest of this section assumes you select Disk file to store the HTML document in a directory on
a web server.
4.
Click OK.
The Select Export Files dialog box appears. When exported to HTML format, a report is saved as
separate HTML pages. If you prefer, clear the check box to have the entire report saved to one file.
Because the report is saved as separate HTML pages by default, the program asks you for the name
of a directory for an export destination, and uses default names for the HTML files. The initial HTML
page will be saved as Base File Name.html. This is the file you open if you want to view your report
through your Web browser.
Note:
When you are exporting to a single file (that is, you have cleared the Separate HTML Pages check
box) all blank space in headers and footers, as well as top and bottom page margins, is included.
If you don't want to see blank spaces in your HTML file, suppress empty header and footer sections
and set the top and bottom page margins to zero in the Page Setup dialog box.
5.
Select an existing directory, or create a new directory for your report.
6.
To navigate through separate HTML files, click the Page navigator option.
7.
Click OK.
The program exports the report to HTML format.
18.1.3.1.3 Exporting to an ODBC data source
Crystal Reports allows you to export reports to any ODBC data source. If you have an ODBC data
source set up for a database or data format, you can export your report to that data format through
ODBC.
For instance, you may have an ODBC data source set up through ODBC Administrator that you normally
use to access database tables designed in Microsoft SQL Server. Using the Export dialog box, however,
you can select your SQL Server data source and export your report as a new SQL Server database
table.
Note:
You must have an ODBC data source set up through ODBC Administrator in order for the program to
export to a particular ODBC database format. See How to set up an ODBC data source.
