Deploy reports without Crystal Enterprise 1

[mdlaugh1]

We are looking for a reliable yet low cost and low resource driven method to deploy Crystal Reports v 9 & 10. We don't have the resources or need to go full blown with Crystal Enterprise or Web Server.

I saw a prior post listing a website with numerous "viewers".

Does anyone know about CView by Chelsea Technologies Ltd? Or have any experience with any other "viewer"?

Thank you!

There are a number of viewer products listed here...

I have about 3 or 4 clients who use Hammerlaunch to view/run CR files that are on a read-only network location. That's about the cheapest solution I have found.

Thanks Mjrbim!

Yes, that was the site listing I found. I realize that I neglected to list the name in my posting.. sorry!

As to Hammerlaunch, is the product a full functioning viewer? by that I mean, can users refresh data back to the database, and answer "Parameter" prompts to personalize their run instance of the report? I don't want to simply provide "static" reports. I want them to take my report, then run for their own date, criteria, etc... specified.

thanks!

Yes, Hammerlaunch is a desktop Report execution tool. If you have parameters in your report, then your users are prompted at runtime.
