Topic: How to lock Design of Crystal Report Posted: 10 Aug 2009 at 1:47am
Hi Experts
How Can I lock design of crystal report so that no one can open my report in designer. In file menu-> Option->Save and lock option lock only saving changes in design but anyone can see the report. Is there any option to lock the report at open time. Crystal report should not open without password.

this has been addressed in other posts.
You can't lock the designer. You can put the write only flag on the report file, but that is easy to get around and you can still see the structure of the report.
The best solution, as I recall, is to not give access the program that designs the report, only install the viewer for the consumers of the reports...they can run the reports, but they can't design them.
