Hello, Can anyone tell me how can i compile a crystal report file.rpt file so that the user can use it. i am using 8.5 now. thanks
I believe they stopped including the compiled reporting functionality by 8.5.
Here is a link to download the file to allow you to compile reports: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/scr8_distr_expert.exe.asp

You're right - it was actually dropped from 8.0: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2006523.asp
Use the link bdreed gave to add the compiled report functionality.
Be forewarned though if you upgrade Crystal you will lose this function completely. Version 9+ doesn't support it at all: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011739.asp

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Once you've compiled it you can simply send the file to the user and they can dbl-click to view the report.
