	What's the difference between CR XI and CR.NET? If I have both which would be the wiser of the two choices to use for creating reports to be used within an application? Is their any advantage of using one versuses the other? Marlon

	CR.NET is what comes with Visual Studio and CR XI is stand-alone although it will also integrate with VS 2003 or 2005 (NOT 2008!). You can use either one to create reports that are used in an application. The real difference is that when you use Crystal outside of VS you have a much richer and (to my mind) easier to use interface. -Dell

	You will use "parameters" in your report to do this. Before you set the ReportSource of the viewer, you will set the parameter values based on what has been entered in the form. Use the "SetParameterValue()" method of the report to set the values. You can do a search here on the forums to find code for this if you need further assistance. -Dell (p.s. I'm a woman, so "Sir" doesn't quite fit! )

I'm just wondering if you can deploy the stand alone reports on a workstation without them having a CR "viewer"? Might simplify things somewhat if I can. Thanks

	If you want the user to be able to see the report, you have to have a viewer of some sort. -Dell
