Hi...

I could start explaning you "How to" use DataReport BUT from my experience (not that I have much), DataReport sucks relativly to the Crystal Reports which is a perfect program for handaling reports. Very easy to use, after you'll read a little help you'll master it.
BTW: Crystal Reports comes with the VB.

I personaly learned the DataReport and the DataEnviorment wich connects to it for 2 weeks or so, and found out everything is complex to do... All that untill I tried the Crystal Reports and was amazed to see how simple it is and how quickly I can make a new report.

If you have any questions about Crystal Reports pls ask.
Hope It'll help you...

Hi,
Data reports is also easy to use.
Please try it this way to pass a parameter.
In the sql statement
for example; Select * from [table name] where [field]=?
Then go to the parameters tab, now it is enabled.
you enter all the properties such as datatype input and out put and the length etc.

Then in the command button or any event where you want to open the report.

connection.command parameter.
datareport.show or print.

I hope it should work.

thanks
