	They need to have a report designer installed on their desktop. This either means that you give them a copy of VS.NET (definitely NOT a good idea), or get them a copy of CR 2008 to do standalone report design.

	Yes, you either have to make the queries or show them the tables they need to use to pull data from. You could also create new reports where you just build the data source for them and then give that report to the user so they can work on designing the report. It really depends on how capable the user is with selecting tables and joining them to determine how much you need to do in advance. To learn more about Crystal, I have tutorials in my Encyclopedia book. I'm writing about .NET 2005/2008 in Volume 2 (due out in a few months, but I have chapters online). You can find out more about my books at Amazon.com or reading the Crystal Reports eBooks online. Edited by BrianBischof - 25 Jun 2008 at 10:21am
