CR Distribution

[RohanP]

Hi There,
I have made a Client/Server App in VB6 & used CR8 for Reporting. Package is installed on 3 client machine whenever there is some change in rpt files I have to replace rpts on all the client machines.

Is there a better way of distributing CR Rpt Files?

Not really, though some things that might help would be to base all of your reports on Views or Stored Procedures.

If you need to correct data or allow for database changes, you can just alter the View/SP (preserving the original data types used), as opposed to opening the report to make such changes.

You could put the reports in a common place on the server and have the clients find them there. Just make sure that the reports are "processed" at the client, so that you don't turn your application from a client based app into a server based application.
