Generate list of all rpt files within a server

[roswald]

Can anyone tell me how I may generate a list of all the Crystal Reports that exist on a server?
Could you also capture the Author?
I just can't seem to find any information on the subject, even in the SDK documentation.
Any help would be great.

When you're choosing a data source, choose 'File System Data'. You can point to a server/drive, and query the file system to find the .rpt files by using the Extension in the Record Selection Formula:

{C__.Extension} = "rpt"

A plethora of information about each file is availble.

vidru,
Do you know why many of the fields are either encrypted or not readable? This is especialy true in the Summary fields for the report, like Author.

Otherwise this is what I was looking for, thanks.

Thanks Dave, I couldn't be more pleased with your information. It was just exactly what I needed.
