Error Message: No saved Data

[Former Member]

I am having a major problem and I am hoping someone can help. I create a report that works great in Crystal Reports 2016. If I run the report from the designer it works fine. I have parameters that I request and it prompts and runs great. As soon as I try to open up that same report in Crystal Viewer I receive this message:

To get data into the report please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected.

I dont want to save the data with my report. I want Crystal Viewer to prompt me for the parameters and than display the report.

I need to deploy this report out for users to utilize. They need to be able to open it in Crystal viewer, input the parameters and get the results.

Can anyone help me out? I am going crazy.

No, that was never the plan for CR Viewer.

Only option is to host your own web site and write an application for them to use.
