Storing Crystal Report in SQL Server

Hey I just want to know if anyone has ever tried storing a Crystal Report in
a SQL Server db.

I want to save the reports similar to how you would store a pdf. I have a
image field in the database that would store the actual file. Can you store
the .rpt file the same way and just do a BinaryWrite to view the report?

Is this possible??

Thanks in advance,

John Scott.

You can store any binary file in a SQL Server image field.

You can't just do a binarywrite of a crystal report - you would see the
binary "garbage" in your web browser. Crystal comes with samples for how to
display their reports in a web browser or you can find them on their support
site.
