Running FR in a DLL to generate PDF
Adam

I want to build a DLL which would run from time to time on a web-server. It would be called by a database engine, which can easily call dll, but less easily call EXE, this is the reason for choosing DLL not EXE.
When I make a standard FR project in a DLL I get multiple error messages, as the FR components use visual parts of windows, and these are not available for DLL.
I do not need the designer, or to display the report just:
1. Run SQL Query.
2. Pass dataset to Report and run the report.
3. Export the resulting report (without previewing) to PDF file.
Is there an easy way to do this with FR?
Thanks in advance.
