Display Crystal Rreports (.rpt) on a web browser

I have Crystal Reports XI Std version and have a number of reports with data generated from an SQL database (our helpdesk system).

I would like to view the reports anywhere from the web using a browser.
Is this possible with the version of CR that I have?

If so is there a free utility or do I have to buy a commercial product?

To distribute reports that way you need the developer edition.

You may be able to use a third-party viewer

Thank you - looks like I need the expensive CR developer edition to acheive what I need.

Are there any other options which do not involved CR - ie any freeware reporting tools that will dynamically present the reports/forms on my website. I don't have to use CR if another application may be more suitable.

Simple Windows 2003 Server + IIS6 at present (can u/grade to Windows Server 2008 + IIS7 if required).
happy to configure the server as required if the benefits justify the setup work.

Will have a look at the recommended link. Thanks
