How do we call Crystal Reports from Delphi XE? What version of Crystal Reports does Delphi XE support?
A:
There currently is no native support for Crystal Reports with Delphi XE. In the past what I have done was to create a small Delphi Prism application that ran my reports using the .net framework API that they do support.
If your adventurous you can also write a small wrapper that exposes the crystal reports .net framework API via com and then call that from within your Delphi XE application.

Ultimately I ended up completely abandoning Crystal Reports. The requirements to install the latest versions was overkill for my application so I switched to Fast Reports. My users are much happier since it runs much faster and they don't have to purchase another 3rd party app to build custom reports.
