Hari,
You need something like this:

Dim i As Integer
Dim sreport_name As String
Dim sreport_fund_num       As String
Dim sreport_processingdate As String
Dim sprocess_type   As String
Dim crapplication  As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim crreport       As CRAXDRT.Report

sprocess_type = "REPORT"
    sreport_name = "IMPEXTRUndSec.rpt"
   
    sreport_name = App.Path & "\REPORTS\" & sreport_name
   
   
    Set crreport = crapplication.OpenReport(sreport_name)
     For i = 1 To crreport.Database.Tables.Count
        crreport.Database.Tables(1).SetLogOnInfo gServerName, gDbName, gLogin, gPassword
        crreport.Database.Tables(1).Location = gDbName & ".dbo." & "sp_get_remote_trades_und_sec"
       'MsgBox crreport.Database.Tables(1).TestConnectivity
     Next i
    crreport.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue (sreport_fund_num)
    crreport.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue (CDate(sreport_processingdate))
    frmReport.rptViewer.ReportSource = crreport

        frmReport.rptViewer.ViewReport
       frmReport.Show

Hope this helps.

If you want to supply a where clause then,

Private mCRXApplication  As CRAXDRT.Application
Private mCRXReport       As CRAXDRT.Report

Set mCRXApplication =
CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")

Set mCRXReport = mCRXApplication.OpenReport(ReportName)

Pass the recordset to the report engine to use as the datasource
mCRXReport.Database.SetDataSource rs

This recordset must be exactly the same as the one you used in the standalone report
