sql server reporting services:
I have a requirement to convert reports from Crystal Reports to SQL
Server Reports. Is there any tool to do this? or Do I need to redesign
every report in SQL Server Reports?

I have the same problem and spent a few days looking for converters and
other help. Unfortunately, there aren't any. The Crystal format is
proprietary, and I didn't find a converter.

From Crystal [Licence.pdf]

4.6.5 (Excerpt)
"End User agrees not to alter, disassemnble, decompile, translate, adapt or
reverse-engineer the Runtime Software or the report file (.RPT) format"

"End user agrees not to use the runtime software to create for distribution
a product that converts the report file (.RPT) format to an alternative
report file format ... or product that is not the property of Crystal
Decisions"

Thanks. It seems that redesign is the only way
