Execute Crystal Report

[nvtjellis]

I have created a report and it is ready for the user to use.
But, I don't know how to run it without it opening up in the design mode. This report has a parameter screen where
the user select from a list to select the desired records.
What I think should be happening whent program is started would be a display of the paremeter selection screen.
I don't see in the help where it would tell me how to run the report as a production run. It s Crystal report 10 we are using.

You'll need a Report Viewer in order to be able to run a report from a machine that doesn't have Crystal installed. You can code your own, or check out some of the third-party options here:

I have Cystal report V10 installed on my machine. By what I read, I can run the report without report viewer. If this is true, just how is that done? Are the option setting I must set so the report would look like a report when executed?

With Crystal Reports you can design and process your report. If another user has Crystal Reports they can also view and run your report, but they can also change it.

To enable people to run your report without needing to buy Crystal Reports for each of them, you can store your report on a Crystal Enterprise Web server. Or you can use one of the third party report viewers like my cView.
