>Hi Craig,
>we're using CrystalReport 6.0, to install on the customer's PCs we use InstallShield Express2 so I can't say you how to registry the OCX For the point (3) I can say you that the OCX isn't the only file to distribute, there's an help (Runtime File Requeriment, RUNTIME.HLP) that can tell you what you've to distribute with your application second what you doing with the reports.

Thanks. I found the RUNTIME.HLP. What I've done, is have the report manager form check to
make sure the user has all the needed files on their PC. If not, it copies them from the
server and runs REGSVR32.EXE to register the OCX if needed. This is all transparent to
the user. It's very cool.
