How to create .exe files in CRX/Compiled Report

[Former Member]

Hello

I am running CRX and we use Control M to schedule reports. According to the company's website, you can create a .EXE and run it on the Windows Command prompt.

The problem is (as you will see below), there's no REPORT, COMPILED REPORT functionality in CRX. Evidently, this has changed.

To create a Compile Report within Crystal, go into Crystal Reports and open a report, from the menu select REPORT | COMPILED REPORT. The Compile Report dialog box will be displayed. You have the option to rename the report name. By default, Crystal Reports uses the report name and changes the file extension from .RPT to .EXE.

Can anyone assist with this?

Thanks.

You could install the free [Crystal Reports Viewer|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/], or create your own .exe which displays a Crystal Report with the [SDK|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm].
