I have the following setup for a small company:
- 1 computer for me. I design crystal reports for generating reports out of QuickBooks Enterprise 16 and run other QuickBooks reports for the company.
- a second computer with a staff user that will run the reports that I designed. The staff user will need to run the reports against live data in QB every day.
Per my reading and tests, the "crystal reports viewer" does not work since data has to be saved with the report. That is not what we are doing. We are running reports on live QB data every day.
I also use Crystal reports with SAGE 100. There I have one crystal reports designer and then each workstation/computer has a "runtime edition" of crystal that runs the reports. The runtime edition cannot modify the reports or do anything but run the reports with the parameters that are specified.
My question is:
Is there a free download or a way to create a runtime version for the Retail Crystal reports 2013? I really do not want the staff user to have to run her reports from the full crystal reports designer - just too many menus and buttons to accidentally click on.
