I have a report (Crystal Reports 10) that connects to an Access database. The Access database uses a pass-through query to retrieve data. The .rpt file and the Access database will both be stored in the same directory.
What kind of viewer will my end-users need? Where can I get it?
Thanks

You have two options: 1. Write your own viewer application. Visual Studio has a CrystalReportViewer control for both WinForms (desktop) and ASP.NET (web) applications.
2. Find a viewer that is either shareware or that you can purcahse and configue it to view your report. See http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html - http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html for a good list of what's available.

| So if I use Visual Studio to make my own Crystal viewer in Visual Basic, the end user will only need to have the .NET framework installed, right?? |
