Save a Report as an Executable

Rachel,
Click on report, Compile report, and follow the prompts. This will create 2 files a .crf file and a .exe file. The .exe is of course the executable. It is very straighforward process but feel free to post again or email if you have any questions.
If you are using CR 8 or newer, the report compiling tool does not ship with Crystal, you have to go to the Crystal decisions website and download it first. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine
