Hi,
Would you mind let me know how to prevent the regular users from accessing the design view of my Crystal Reports?

Your help is appreciated
Thanks

Option no. 1
Create a program in VB6 or VB.NET
That will call your created crystal report.
Option no. 2
I thick seagate has a facility that will make you crystal report in the exe file.. but you have to buy them...


i hope i helped,
Marc.

I agree that calling a report from VB or C# or other prgramming language is a good approach. But a quick solution is if you go under "File" "Report Options" you can click on "ReadOnly". This will prevent any changes in design view. The problem is that if you have a smart user, they can probably go in and uncheck the ReadOnly box. Good luck!!
