Question: I would like to create a button that will create a Crystal Report for
the ‘current entity’ in SalesLogix v7.5.2 Web instead of having to go to
the Reports menu. Is there already code for this that you could share?

More example API Usage:
/* Display the ‘Contact:Contacts By Lead Source – Sample’ using the current entity. */
