Since you have to open each report
individually and you can't work with
multiple objects across multiple reports, at $your rate$ an hour -- even a simple task of changing
all references to the company name and standardizing all fonts in 30 reports will take an
average report designer about 15 minutes per
report. Even if you use the Repository
you'll still have to open each report.
Open all 30 reports (or even 300+ reports)

Now try modifying any

Simple and
routine changes like these
add up very quickly and before you know it,
you've spent more money doing it the old
fashioned way -- one object, one property,

Unlike Crystal Reports, with .rpt Inspector you
can open one, two, a hundred, or several hundred reports
all at the same time1. Which means
you can use the tools in .rpt Inspector to find and
filter "in common" objects and properties (formulas,
parameters, parameter default values, text, headers,
footers, size, driver, database, printer, schedules,
instances, database logons, formats, destinations, etc.)
across the selected reports, and modify them all at
the same time -- all with visual feedback.
1 The actual number of reports
that you can open at the same time, depends on your
system resources. Our users report that they've worked
with 300, 600, and even 800 reports all at the same
time to modify the various properties (formulas, parameters,
parameter default values, text, headers, footers, size,
driver, database, printer, etc.) of the selected report(s).
