Josh, this answer is straight off the answer book from Epicor. I haven't
got round to using it yet, but plan to down the track. The problem I had
was creating the compiled report ( the crystal .exe file) from memory. I
am sure this is what you are after though.
Cheers
Stuart

How to add a compiled Crystal Report as a Vista\Vantage menu option.
The following procedure will allow you to call a compiled Crystal Report
(.EXE) from a Vista\Vantage menu option. This will allow you to use
Vista\Vantage menu security to control user access to these reports.
Step #1: Create a Progress program (.W) file to call the Crystal Report
.EXE.
This program (.W) file would contain the following code:
============================================================
DEFINE VARIABLE ProgNamePath as CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE ReturnCode AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
PROCEDURE WinExec EXTERNAL "KERNEL32.DLL":
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER ProgramName AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER VisualStyle AS LONG.
DEFINE RETURN PARAMETER StatusCode AS LONG.
END PROCEDURE.
/***********************************************************************
Set the ProgNamePath variable value to the location\Crystal Report's
.EXE
***********************************************************************/
ProgNamePath = "W:\Vantage\UD\Scrap By Reason Detail.exe".
* Note - Depending on version of program the application directory could
also be mfgsys60 or mfgsys61
RUN WinExec (INPUT ProgNamePath, INPUT 1, OUTPUT ReturnCode).
=====================================================================
The example above shows how a "Scrap By Reason Detail.Exe" would be
called. Include the full path to the compile report .exe.
Save this file as UD<Compile ReportName>.W and eliminate the spaces.
For example: Scrap By Reason Detail.exe "save as"
UDScrapByReasonDetail.w
Step #2: Copy the UD<Compile ReportName>.W file to the \Vantage\UD or
mfgsys60\UD or mfgsys61\UD folder.
Step #3: Use Vista\Vantage Menu Structure Maintenance to add a new menu
option to call the UD<Compile ReportName>.W
Note: Menu ID must start with UD. Any naming convention for the
remaining characters can be used.
Program must always include UD/UD<Compile Report Name>.W

Subject: [Vantage] Confusion about adding Crystal reports directly into
Vantage.
In Vantage it seems you can add Report Builder reports directly into
the application so even those without Report Builder installed can run
them. I cannot find a way to do this with reports created in Crystal.
Does anyone have expierence with this? I'd like to write several custom
reports in Crystal but allow users to simply run them directly from
Vantage without Crystal installed on their client at all. Any help
would be appreciated.
