Here is how I do it using User tool 5.1, CR 8.5. (I had to install Crystal Reports Compiler to create a compiled executable). My network is also has a Netware Server on it so all of my ARS users have a mapped "T" drive. In that "T" drive I have all my compiled crystal reports in subfolders. In my workflow, I have an active link where a user clicks a button & the report runs. The active link is just a "Run Process" and it looks like: "T:\reportnamefolder\report.exe"
So, if you had a CR called "MonthlyIncome.rpt", & you saved it to a subfolder on the T drive called "Monthly Income", your Run Process line would be:
T:\Monthly Income\monthlyincome.exe
Dont forget to fill in your users ODBC driver logon parameters on each workstation. (THis is what I had to do).
