Hi all,

I am trying to create a printing faciclity for an application that I have written that links, though ADO to a DB. The only practical way of priniting a report seems to be through the data report designer, however this only links to a data environment.

I can retrieve the data I want using the Data environemt but I do not know how to dynamicly specify the SQL string that returns the records at run time.


Ie at the mo I can return a recordet and print it, but I cant Get a differant recordset depending on, say, input from user.

Alternitavly is there a way to create respectable reports without using the data environment??

I dont have crystal reports.... and have never used it. Is it a neccesaty?
