How to deploy interactive reports in Crystal Reports 10

[lrousey]

In Crystal versions 8.5 and before, there is a compiled report feature which is not available in Crystal Reports 10. Can someone tell me how to deploy reports to my users so that they can enter parameters and process the report themselves.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

You can download and install the FREE "Crystal Reports XI Viewer" from BOBJ on the client desktop.

http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/viewer/en/default.asp

It supports all reports created on Crystal Reports version 9 or later.

If you want more robust features or to run RPTs older than CR 9, you can try HAMMERLAUNCH or a similar 3rd party tool.

You can also look at the CRYSTAL REPORT SERVER XI product if you want to host them on the Web for users to run through a browser.
