I  used to be able to compile reports in the older versions.
I have just upgraded to 10, and also have lost the "compile reports expert" downloaded from the crystal decisions web site some years ago.
Whilst the help information in 10 tells me I can download form the crystal decisions web site and gives a link, the page does not exist any more.
Could someone please tell me how I can now distribute complied reports for users without crystal reports on their computer?
Probably serves me right for not keeping up to date.

The ability to compile reports ended with version 8.5 of Crystal.  With versions 8 and below, it came with Crystal and in 8.5 it was a separate download.  I'm not sure it was ever available for versions 9 and 10.
 
Since Crystal is integrated into Visual Studio, you can create your own viewer with the report compiled into it.  Or there are third-party viewers available that you may be able to use.  A good reference for third-party tools is a http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html.
