Crystal no longer provides a tool for creating compiled EXEs from reports. They phased it out in Version 8.5, much to the chagrin of many users.

Don't know if there are any 3rd party tools that can do it...

Why do you need to compile a report as an executable if you're using CE9? If you mean CR9 then Crystal Decisions phased out the Report Distribution Expert with CR9 in favor of its Report Application Server. Check out the following KB article:

For other non-CE options, check out Ken Hamady's website (

He has a link to a variety of Crystal Viewers and Schedulers...
