How to protect an RPT from being Modified after deployment 1

[krist]

Hi all,

Is there aniway to prevent users from modifying RPT after deployment, suppose if they have Crystal Report.
The thing here is to controll the version being installed.

Thanks for any help,
Krist

The only 2 that come to mind:

1. Run the reports off a network share so that you make the files read-only.

2. Client PCs run NT and the user is not an administrator of the PC.

Balves,
I'm interested in giving reports to users but not having them able to modify them. Please explain a little further about making the reports as Read-Only.

thanks,
ron

How do you currently deploy the Reports?
