    Posted: 13 May 2016 at 8:03am
I have many crystal reports that I like to have users be able to run. I not exactly sure how to setup Crystal reports or configure a crystal report to run without having to install the crystal report application on everyone PC.
I looked at run time crystal reports but am not sure if this is the correct solution?
I look for any advice please...

For the most part that is the easiest and cheapest solution.  Otherwise you will need an enterprise solution (SAP BI) or develop a .NET application.

If you don't need to refresh the data in the report, you can use the SAP Crystal Reports Viewer. This is a free utility you can download from the SAP web. The requirement is that you have to save your report with data. You cannot refresh the data by reconnecting to a data source from the CR Viewer.

If you need to refresh the data, take a look at
http://kenhamady.com/cru/comparisons/crystal-reports-viewers
There you have a good comparison of different CR viewers; all include the feature of refreshing an rpt file. Some of them are free.
Hope this helps.
