How to Install Crystal Reports Designer in Sage 100

Note: Only one version of Crystal Reports should be installed on a workstation. If one version is currently installed, and another version is subsequently installed, some of the files laid down by the previous installation will be overwritten by the most recent installation (even if the most subsequent installation is of a previous version). This may cause error messages or problems when attempting to create, modify, or print Crystal forms or reports.

The Workstation Setup client installation for Sage 100 will install a runtime version of Crystal Reports that allows for print or preview of forms and reports.

To create or modify Crystal Reports forms and reports, install Crystal Reports Designer to the workstation. Select the Typical installation option, which uses pre-assigned settings.
