The resulting charts from my Crystal reports eventually need to end up in PowerPoint presentations. I don't believe ppt files are an available export format option. I can export to PDF, highlight the graph and copy/paste to PowerPoint, but this is not a solution I can deliver to the execs.
I have been evaluating Xcelsius as it has the export to PowerPoint functionality. Unfortunately, I do not see an obvious way to export crystal report results from it. I can run a CR via a URL and "opendocument" , but the results are displayed outside of the context of Xcelsius...
Any suggestions or potential solutions to try would be greatly apprecicated.
Rob,
You could use Live Office and select report objects to insert the chart into PPT.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have started looking at using live office as a solution. I am not familiar with live office or what the end user interface might look like. I'll search the forums for some help.
Thanks again,
Rob

Yes, I agree - thank you. My chart doesn't export to Excel very pretty, so I will look at exporting to PDF and I'll look at some of the PDF to PPT conversion utilities available. I figure if I can call things through the command shell, I should be able to end up with the report opened in PowerPoint. I'll update this thread with any findings I make.

You can try exporting to excel and embedding that into a Power Point presentation. Since there is no inherant way to get to a PPT file from Crystal Reports we are most likely going to have to go through a format in the middle.
