Hi all,
I have Crystal Reports 2008, and I've been creating a number of reports that leverage the data from our various databases. There is only one other person aside from myself ho has Crystal Reports.
To date, the two of us have been taking report requests from everyone else in our organization. We run the report, refresh the data and export to PDF.
This is becoming too much, and we would like other members of our organization to be able to run the reports we build for themselves. We looked into the Crystal Report Viewer from SAP, but you cannot refresh reports that aren't hosted on a BusinessObjects Enterprise Server.
Ideally, we would like them to be able to do so for free, but I understand that that may be hoping for too much. What is the most cost effective way to get 10-50 people refreshing our reports?
I'm also a programmer... would I be breaking the terms of serivce if I created a wrapper for the viewer that simply tacks on the ability to refresh?
Thank you for your time. I hope I'm asking this in the right section. If not, just let me know and I'll move it.
