Can you post the code you are using to export?

<div>
How are you exportintg?<br />
<br />
Do you use the EXPORT Icon on the viewer or are you using code?<br />

<div>
The export is just being done with the icon in the top of the screen, no VB code involved.
</div>


<div>
When you built the VB application did you use the Crystal dlls from your full version or from the VB versiion of Crystal?<br />

I would say that I linked against the seperate version, but wouldn't trust it. &nbsp;If I look at the references in the application properties. they are linked to c:\program files\business ojbects\common\2.8\managed<wbr />\crystalde<wbr />cisions. crystalreports.engine.dll,<wbr /> crystaldecisions.shared.dl<wbr />l and crystaldecisions.windows.f<wbr />orms.dll.<br />
<br />
From memory, when I built the application, I right clicked on the project, did add reference, switched to the COM tab and then scrolled down to find the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 10.5. (crviewer.dll).<br />

<div>
If I use the reference from the full version, will I be able to run the program on a machine that doesn't have the full version installed?
</div>


<div>
Yes, but you will have to install the runtimes for the full version.<br />
If this is within your company then the Crystal license you have is sufficient. &nbsp;If you go outside your company then it depends on the version of Crystal.<br />

I'm having trouble figuring out what to link. &nbsp;Do you know which files(and what directory) that I should be linking to replace what I'm currently doing with the viewer integrated into the application?<br />

<div>
I don't. &nbsp;I haven't built a .Net application with Crystal.<br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
