I don't think that you can pass your data directly to crystal report. However have your query as stored procedure and in designing your report, select the stored procedure as your input.<br />

<div>
First you must add the control to your vb program, so had the crystal Report.ocx control and place it on the from. then supose you give it the name REPORT. <br />
then place a command button in the form and in it place the code:<br />
<br />
Report.ReportFileName = &quot;c:\report_file_name.rpt&quot; 'you report file name and path<br />
Report.WindowTitle = &quot;My Report&quot;<br />
<br />
'here you must place the formula. between quotes you must put the database table name (socios) and then a point (.) and the field to search (n_socio)<br />
Report.SelectionFormula = &quot;{socios.n_socio} =&quot; &amp;&nbsp;value_to_find<br />
Report.Action = 1<br />

How to call Crystal Reports

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
