First of all -- I am NOT familiar with Crystal Reports but I am trying to help a desparate potential client.
She tells me that someone wrote them a piece of software using CR. She tells me that she only has an executable (and I assume data files). Programmer is long gone. She tells me that she and others have made several attempts to track him down to no avail. They have even followed leads such has "I heard he was working at such and such." Calls to such and such reveal no employee by that name. So he doesn't want to be found.
He "did not / would not" give them source code.
She tells me that "the program never did do all it was supposed to and since the beginning of 2002 has had a problem and she is not able to run some of the reports."
Is there a way to extract source code from a Crystal Reports exe?
Any ideas on how I can help her?
