Microsoft IIS/Proxy log file
If you use Microsoft Internet Information Server (MS IIS), or Microsoft Proxy,
you can use Crystal Reports to report on the log files. These log files keep
track of different types of events that occur when using a web server and
browser.
The translation file Crystal Reports provides for MS IIS and Proxy log files
is crdb_p2smsiis.dll. Because log file data is normally stored in a flat file
system, the translation file accesses it directly.
Note:
You must have UNC (universal naming convention) read-access to your
local file system. UNC is a standard format for paths that include a local area
network file server. The basic syntax is: \\server\share\path\filename
