Design reports only, Don't want huge software pkg..possible?

[schick]

I would like to create reports on a pc, then move them to the pc they will be used on. My question is, do i have to install all 300MB of CR8.5 Developer on my machine? Does this install start multiple services,ect in the background? What's the best way to do this? I just cleaned this machine up and I'm trying to avoid extra baggage as far as RAM consumption. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

To design reports in Crystal, you don't need the Developer version.

To view reports on other PCs (if you want to avoid the need to have Crystal installed on each PC) you can develop your own Viewer software or purchase one of the commercially available viewers (see:

All the third party viewers will be installing some CR run time files. But it will be a lot less than the CR designer. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear
