Control Files Gone

I only have .exe files left of a number of reports. Neither the .rpt file nor the .crf file is present.<br>
<br>
They are also not on the backups.<br>
<br>
If I try to run the .exe file, it says, control file not present.<br>
<br>
Is there anyway that I can use the exe file to reconstruct the report?<br>
<br>
I, as usual, don't have a lot of time (nor even a lot of knowledge about Crystal).
 
Bad news - as you probably suspect, the exe is just a shell that calls the two files that identifies the runtime files to use and the report itself. If you have the .rpt, you can rebuild the exe and crf by compiling the report again, but other than that, you are toast. <p>Malcolm Wynden<br><a href=mailto:wynden@island.dot.net>wynden@island.dot.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
I'm trying to run a report and I get the message "cannot find CRPaige(32).dll it should be in the path". Can I download this file anywhere?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
