If you want to give the end user "design mode" type functionality, the
quickest way is for them to buy Crystal Report developer for
$300 dollars. You can not distribute the "designer" that comes with VS.NET
to end users. The other way is for you to use the
Crystal classes to develop your own "designer", you can use the API to move
fields around, but it would be a heavy task to give
them Crystal look and feel.
