Can a .net web service return a crystal report .rpt object to use as a report source?
I would like to have a .net web service return an .rpt object to use as a report source for the crystal reports viewer on a thick client (windows .net form). Is this possible? The documentation -- the lack of it, actually -- on this subject seems to indicate no, but I'm not that familiar with the standard deployment schemes. I don't want to create the reports as web services, because they will be created on the fly by users without vs.net, and I'm also restricted by security concerns from putting new software (e.g., report server, merge modules, et al.) on the server that hosts the .rpt files.

Can't you pass a dataset back through the web service and bind that to a .rpt report. If the client doesn't have the .rpt report it could also be passed, I would suggest passing the report back using DIME (it is part of the WSE 2.0 and allows you to pass objects back without having to be inside a SOAP message)
Look at:

If you are developing in VS.net, right click on the .rpt and choose "Publish as web service" option. You can then deploy it as a web service, and reference the web service in the Viewer using the ReportSource like Viewer1.ReportSource = "http://localhost/crystalServicee/Report1Service.asmx";
Let me know if you have other problems. I've got this working now, though it took some effort.
MSDN actually has quite a bit of useful info on this subject as well.
