Yes, with 600 reports this will be a huge application. You can save the reports as a separate file outside of your application and this will make the EXE smaller, but then you will have lots of files to manage.

If you want to create a generic report, you can use the ReportDocument object model to dynamically assign fields to each report object. I have lots of code in my Crystal Reports .NET book (it was written for VS.NET 2003 but the object model code will still help you).
