This thread belong to c.d.o.tools, but I'll respond anyway

Forms 9i come with a BETA version of WebUtil

In forms 10g, it is part of the product.

With WebUtil you have a direct C API to your client (I presume Windows in this case)

Otherwise, if you wanna stick to 6i and you have good java developpers, you could develop a signet javabean and put in in a java bean container on your forms. The JavaBean could run the external program (In your case, crystal reports)

Nothing easy.

For web-util, see:
