    Question

    Hi
    I have just used Crystal reports for the first time so am not sure of its actrual workings.

    When I convert my app to an exe will the crystal reports still work if the computer I run the app on, does not have crystal reports installed. Of course I will have the actual report files on the strange computer, but I will not have the actual crystal reports program. Will it work?

    You may be missing a few dlls. From runtime.hlp

    The required runtime files for an application developed using the Crystal Report Print Engine API (crpe32.dll) are listed below.

    FILE LOCATION DESCRIPTION
    CRPE32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Interface to the Crystal Report Engine
    CRPAIG80.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Crystal Reports text object support
    IMPLODE.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Compression Library
    MFC42.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Microsoft Foundation Class Libraries
    MSVCIRT.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Runtime Library
    MSVCP60.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Runtime Library
    NOTE: Include IMPLODE.DLL only for applications using reports created in versions previous to SCR 8.

    What database are you using. If your using access, you may need to install jet.

    If you are using another database, check runtime.chm for the required dlls for that database.
