Yes, I agree with Savan. Another file type should work. However, as I read your question, I'm not certain about what you are trying to do. When click on a link you want Crystal Reports to open another "form" as in VS.NET form? You can't open a form from Crystal Reports. It has to open a file like Excel, Word, etc. So I'm not certain if what you're trying to do is possible. ------------- Please support the forum!

If it is opening the .cs file using Dreamweaver, then that means that the file extension is associated with the Dreamweaver application. You have to go into Windows Explorer and click Tools | Folder Options | File Types and then find the .cs file type. Change it's associated programs to Visual Studio.

I haven't done this myself. If you associate the .cs file with Visual Studio, then it should open the file in Visual Studio. But I haven't tried it myself to say whether this will work or not.
