Crystal Reports data stored in SQL database

[Former Member]

Is there any data about Crystal Reports stored? I use SQL Server as the data source.

For example, I use SSRS most often and it's possible to create reports about the reports (report activity, tables/datasets used, etc.).

The only information about the reports resides in the .rpt files themselves. You can use either the .NET or the Java SDK to pull this information. I have an old sample program written in C# that does this which is available on my website at http://www.dellstinnett.com/sample_code.html - look for the Crystal Documenter link. The SDK has changed a little bit since this was written, but it could be used as a starting point for developing your own application as well as an intro to the .NET SDK.
