I have seen a few discussions of people using Crystal Reports software in this forum.
FYI, here's a notice of a potential security vulnerability:

Neil-
Thanks for the post! The "tell" is at the bottom of that notice. You are vulnerable only if you are running IIS, Internet Information Server (software used to run a web host---Microsoft----no surprise there huh??). It appears that if you are running the Web viewer, which is used to view your reports on the internet, you may be vulnerable. I don't think a whole lot of folks here have anything to worry about. But better safe than soory to check your system out.

How ya been stranger?
