Also, I don't have any software to edit it. so, is there any free software to download & use it for this.

I have downloaded a Crystal Report Software & tried but it could made no sense.

Alas, you will need crystal reports designer
Do you have any colleagues that have it?
The only other solution is to rewrite the report the way you want it using some other program

Hi gpl!
Thanks for the help. But I don't have any colleagues with crystal report designer software, so can you find me any open source please?

There is no open source version.

Visual studio (6 and .net) comes with a version of crystal (different versions), but I cannot tell if it is compatible with the report that you have
