Crystal report in a VB application
I have recently started report design in Crystal report 7.0 and Now I want to call the report thru VB program. I understand i need to use Crystal report viewer or crystal report control but How???
Can anyone help me???
Kirti
Can anyone help me???
Kirti
Goto Visual Basic Books Online And Goto the Find section.
Type in: "crptToWindow"
This should bring up the Crystal ActiveX Control Properties Page.
This Will give you all the information that you need.
I have used it myself and it works great.
Cheers,
Ed.

Find enclosed below a module..
All you need to do is create a bas file, copy this code in and pass in the report name and any params as an array...
This code was used with an older version of Crystal but its worth a try I feel..
Good luck Madmarlin

using cr viewer:
(make sure to add the crystal report viewer control under project/components and to reference the crystal report activex designer runtime under project/references)
Dim myApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim myRpt As New CRAXDRT.Report
Set myRpt = myApp.OpenReport("<path to report>")
CRViewer1.ReportSource = myRpt '' CRViewer1 is your viewer control
CRViewer1.ViewReport
Set myRpt = Nothing
Set myApp = Nothing

Dim myApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim myRpt As New CRAXDRT.Report
Set myRpt = myApp.OpenReport("<path to report>")
CRViewer1.ReportSource = myRpt '' CRViewer1 is your viewer control
CRViewer1.ViewReport
Set myRpt = Nothing
Set myApp = Nothing
to use crystal report control:
under project/components, select crystal report control (crystl32.ocx)
place the crystal report control on your form (it will be invisible at runtime)
then you could do something like this:
CrystalReport1.ReportFileN
CrystalReport1.Destination
CrystalReport1.PrintReport
under project/components, select crystal report control (crystl32.ocx)
place the crystal report control on your form (it will be invisible at runtime)
then you could do something like this:
CrystalReport1.ReportFileN
CrystalReport1.Destination
CrystalReport1.PrintReport

Hi bobbit31,
thanks for ur help.
I have another problem. I wanted to send parameter value from VB to crystal report. Like I need to generate the data for one specific date. so i need to send the date value to the parameter of crystal report. How to do that?
right now I am just viewing the report from the VB crystal report control. there is another problem, when I refresh the report and enter a new date the report is giving 0 records. but when go to crystal report to check and enter the same date there its giving the matching records. Why its not refreshing the report thru VB crystal report contorl. do i need to set any property for that? please advice.

Hi ELmo,
which online book u r refering for? can u give me the site?
I am generating daily patients report so user can enter the date to generate the report. For that i have created a parameter in crystal report.
Now the problem is when I refresh the report from the crystal report and enter any date its working fine. but when I am calling it thru my VB appl using crystal report control, and while refreshing I enter the date, the report is not refreashing and even its not giving anything.

Kirti,
I am refering to the Book that is supplied with Visual Basic. I am using Visual Basic 5. It should be in the Visual Basic Help menu and also the Visual Basic Start Menu - "Books Online..."
I would thinik that the problem you are having with the report refreshing without any data is that you are not passing the Parameter properly and the Report is quering the database with bad parameters.
What version of VB are you using?
