My reports don't work.

Setting up server-side programs for reports requires several steps. Java must be installed on the server and programs must be in the correct locations. See the Corvid manual for the details on setting up the programs. Once they are setup correctly, there are several other errors that can cause problems:

1. For reports recieved from the server using DisplayReport, any images, .css or other referenced files must have their full path because a CGI base path cannot be used with a relative URL path.


2. No JavaScript, VB script, or other script commands are allowed in the report. This is for security reasons. Since the report can be sent from anyone, the report could contain malicious server side script.


3. Microsoft Internet Explorer v5 does not allow applets to read files in the root of the drive. Your files will have to be in a sub-folder. You can put a shortcut to the .html file in the root of the drive.
