SEAGATE CRYSTAL REPORTS SOFTWARE PROFESSIONAL Full Version 7 with Key Code in the box
Crystal Reports, from Crystal Services/Seagate Technology Inc., is a powerful visual report creation tool for Microsoft Windows. Rather than a specific product, it is designed to work with almost any existing database product.
This appears to be the last version of Crystal Reports for Windows 3.1. The setup contains two separate versions, a 16-bit Windows 3.1 version and a 32-bit Windows 9x/NT version.
Crystal Reports 7.0, the latest release of Seagate Software's widely used and highly acclaimed report writer, provides a sophisticated graphical report designer that you can use with many databases. Crystal Reports 7.0 is compatible with prior Crystal Reports releases. It comes with several new features including server-side processing, which can reduce client processing requirements; an ActiveX report designer that lets you design reports within Visual Basic (VB); and the ability to directly enter SQL expressions and execute stored procedures for higher-performance reporting.
Seagate offers Crystal Reports 7.0 in Standard and Professional Editions for 16- and 32-bit configurations. If you need access to Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) data sources, invest in the Professional Edition. The Standard Edition supports ODBC, but only for local databases such as Microsoft Access. In addition to enhanced ODBC support, the Professional Edition includes features not available in the Standard Editionsuch as the Crystal Web Report Server, Crystal Report Engine Automation Server, Crystal Report Engine Object Library, Crystal Query Designer, and the Crystal SQL Designer. In this review, I focus on the 32-bit Professional Edition of Crystal Reports 7.0.

Crystal Reports extracts data from many desktop databases including ACT! 2.0 and ACT! 3.0, Clipper, Btrieve, dBase, FoxPro 2.6, Microsoft Access, Paradox 3.5, and Paradox 4.5.
