cView is a Crystal Report viewer that has been designed to be easy to use, so that non technical staff can view your reports.

New features in this release (8.22/9.22/10.22/11.22/12.22) includes

Improved password control 


cView has the following key features.

Crystal Reports 8.5/9.0/10.0/XI/2008 support
Version 10.22,11.22 and 12.22 are functionally the same as version 8.22, but include the run time files and support for reports designed with that version of Crystal Reports. 

Install cView version 12.22 if your reports are designed with Crystal Reports 2008.  This includes Crystal Reports 2008 Service pack 2, so it may cause conflicts with the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer if you do not have upgraded to that service pack.  It is best installed on a clean machine with no other Crystal Reports versions.  This version also requires the dot net framework 3.5

Install cView version 11.22 if your reports are designed with Crystal Reports 11 and you wish to use features specific for that version. At this stage the installation of CR11 support requires a workstation running Windows 2000 or later.

Install cView version 10.22 if your reports are designed with Crystal Reports 9 or 10. At this stage the installation of CR10 support requires a workstation running Windows 2000 or later.

cView 9.xx, 10.xx and 11.xx can all view Crystal Reports 2008 and earlier.  However some version specific features may not operate as expected.  We recommend you install the version of cView that best matches your Crystal Reports designer.

Improved database support (including OLEDB)
You can now use cView with SQL and Oracle reports and subreports.  The passwords are stored centrally for each database connection, not each report.  The database passwords can be hidden from the user for improved security.

Multiple reports open
You can keep
open several reports, each in a different window. 

Viewing history
You can now keep a record of the previous 10 reports you viewed with cView.  There is also an option to clear the history list.

Table mapping
You can design a report against a specific database location and then discover that at a client site, the database has a different name or is in a different drive/folder.  Table mapping enables you to redirect these database locations at run time.  

Default report viewer
cView can be set up in your File Explorer Options as the default viewer of rpt files.  You can also place it on your desktop and drag a rpt file on top for processing.  It will view reports with saved data, or process the report live against the database.

Ease of use
cView had a main design objective of being easy to use as a Crystal Report viewer. 
If you are emailed a Crystal Report and have access to your database (or the report came with Saved Data) this will allow you to run the report.

Central database management
The database connection information can be stored centrally in a server folder for all users.

You select a rpt file and cView processes it.  The run time files for cView are for Crystal Reports version 8.5, 10.0 or 11.0.
