Oh - I'm sorry -- I didn't see this answer come in. &nbsp;So if you create a report using Crystal (rather than in .Net) you can distribute the designer? &nbsp;Or only if the report is actually built within .Net?

With Visual Studio 2008 it appears that you get the Crystal Report viewer components. &nbsp;Are there any restrictions on the use and distribution of that? &nbsp;In other words, can you create a generic CR viewer and distribute it freely?
