Hi,
 
We are using Crystal Enterprise 9 and I want my user to be able to see a report without loggin in Crystal Enteprise.  I tried to put the report in a "public" folder out of Crystal Enterprise but I only have the RPT and not the data.  I can't save the report in pdf or word because the report have drill down functionnality.  Can you help me ?

You have a couple of options.  Probably the easiest will be to create a "dummy" logon to CE that your web application will use to get the report instance. 

A couple of pieces of information about how CE works with reports....
There are report "templates" and report "instances" - both of which have a .rpt file extension.  A template is the report with no data.  This is what is run inside CE when a report is scheduled or viewed on demand.  An instance is the result of a scheduled report being run; it contains all of the information in the template as well as the data from the scheduled run. 
 
From what you've said above, I think you need to be able to find a specific instance[/] of the report to show the user.  It sounds like you're showing the report template.
 
I haven't worked specifically in CE9 - we use BO XI - but there is an SDK available to help you locate the specific instance of the report that your user wants.
