Hi guys... Can someone guide me on what to do or how to create a crystal report dynamically? i mean i know how to create a crystal report dynamically just by passing parameter and that parameter will decide on what to display... but what i want to achieve is that i want to create a crystal report from scratch... what i mean is the rpt for that report doesnt exists yet and not template existing yet... and while using my system the user can create their own customized crystal report template with parameters they want to pass... basically the program will give them a GUI for an area where they can design their report template and assign parameters to be passed this way the user will not be dependent on any IT or programmer to give them assistant to create the report... i saw this kind of approach using fox pro but i want to know is this achievable in C# with crystal reports? if so how to achieve this? please help and guide thanks in advance and more power guys!!

it seems that this is only a process of passing your parameter to the crystal report that you created and the only dynamic here is the data being displayed... what i mean is i want to know how one user can create his crystal report template during runtime... so once "my project runs" he/she can design on what field to display like textbox, label or any data... it will depend on the user on how he/she would like the report to be made and with this he can use it as his template for other reporting purposes...

so basically i want the user to create his only crystal report "Template" during runtime..
