How can i create an interface to edit crystal report at user end
It's not that easy. If you want to empower user to edit a crystal report, you need to make sure Client has crystal editor on his system. Further, on click of edit, you have to pick up the RPt file and launch it using Process.Start.

can you please tell me how to code it? I didn'nt come across process.start

It's not that simple. Opening Crystal editor is easy using Process.Start, something like:
Process.Start("C:/MyRpeorts/MyCrystal.RPT");

But, post editing, saving the report and using it at the same moment will be tricky. You should talk to some senior who can help you directly for the full thing.

Well, Process.Start will open it with default editor tied to *.rpt. based on what you say, it sounds like crystal reports are set to open in ms word when you double click a rpt file.

Fix that. Fix the default editor for rpt. When you double click it, it should open in the crystal editor of your choice (VS or crystal designer) - its in your control to set what opens a given file. Once done, process.start will open rpt in that only.
