Using the Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Use Crystal Reports to add reporting capabilities to your web application. You can create a report from scratch or you can use one of the Crystal Reports Creation Wizards to help you through the design process. The reports you create can be hosted in your web applications.
Regardless of what you decide to do with your report, create and make changes to the report itself in the Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer. The Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer enables you to design and modify reports inside the Rational Software Development Platform. You do not need to distribute the designer with your report.
