We are planning to integrate Crystal Reports XI into our software. The best case scenario would be for us and our customers to produce reports. The acceptable scenario would be for us to be able to produce the reports and our customers just run/view them.

We wanted to use Crystal 2008 but it appears they have dropped the COM interface and are only supporting .net  (feel free to correct at any point!) so we are looking at Crystal XI instead. We are under the impression that as our software is not .net, that we cannot integrate CR 2008 (again please correct me if wrong).

Which .dll files do we need to distribute with our software so customers are able to view reports from within our software? We keep finding info on merge modules but they are no good to us.

Any information would be gratefully received!

Cheers,

Jason
