I am trying to create a pdf file from an app that is a web broker type app.
It runs fine in the web app debugger, but many problems when running as a
dll under IIS. Main problem I have discovered (thanks to a great assist from
a poster on this group) is that I can't have the report as an actual part of
the project. Instead, I must manually call the create method for the report.
My code looks like this (relevant part only):

pdffilt := tqrpdfdocumentfilter.create(pdf_name);

appldgr := tappldgr.create(nil);

appldgr.exporttofilter(pdffilt);

appldgr.free;

pdffilt.free;

handled := true;

response.sendredirect(pdf_name);

The module for appldgr is in the uses statement so that it can be called. As
near as I can tell, the dll generates an exception of some kind and returns
a 500 type error to the browser.

What is the secret to having a report in a dll that does not really have any
visual components. (more like a console app, I guess).

Thanks!
