Hi Toufik,

There used to be a way - back in crystal 7 - to 'distribute' a report - the
system created an exe on the client's pc and you would send the report and
the data files (perhaps csv, perhaps .dbf) to it and it would produce the
report remotely. That function is now gone.

You can turn a report into a .pdf using the export function and email the
..pdf; there is also a MAPI option as part of export, but I don't know how to
use that; it might be worth looking into that, however.

HTH,

Bernie Yaeger

I've done it that way - have Crystal create a PDF file, and then have your
program send the PDF.
