I have a report (Crystal Reports 10) that connects to an Access database.  The Access database uses a pass-through query to retrieve data.  The .rpt file and the Access database will both be stored in the same directory.
 
What kind of viewer will my end-users need?  Where can I get it?
 
Thanks Smile

You have two options:

1.  Write your own viewer application.  Visual Studio has a CrystalReportViewer control for both WinForms (desktop) and ASP.NET (web) applications.
 
2.  Find a viewer that is either shareware or that you can purcahse and configue it to view your report.  See http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html for a good list of what's available.

So if I use Visual Studio to make my own Crystal viewer in Visual Basic, the end user will only need to have the .NET framework installed, right??
