IIS doesn't run reports, it is a WEB server.

You can publish your reports from HEAT to HTML format, and provide links to them in an external doc, such as HTML, ASP, etc.

There's also a Crystal companion product called Crystal Enterprise which has this functionality.

And there are 3rd party tools:

Thanks synapse. If i install the crystal enetrpeise on my web server and copy all my exisiting reports to web server then i would be able to run it from intranet site by creating links or not.

Well you don't copy them, you publish them in Crystal Enterprise (CE). This can be done in batch mode if you already habve reports using the Publishing wizard, or you can save them one at a time using Crystal Reports itself by selecting the Enterprise icon in the lower right hand corner.

Then you can either use CE, or you can use URL pass through, or the CE API.
