Try adding a parameter field to the report, passing the parameter value from VB and then use that parameter value in the formula instead of passing the value straight to the formula. Depending on the parameter type and what the formula requires, you may have to cast values. Make the parameter field invisible.

Hi King_George,

Thans for ur info.

Passing value to Formula field from VB is accomplished.

Now, i am need to know, how to pass the Selection Formula.
Please send me one example in string and integer type.

When i pass the value, 20515 Error Code displays and stops program execution.

I used as below format:

SelecForm = "{ItemMaster.ItemType} = 0"

CrystalReport1.SelectionFormula = SelecForm

ItemMaster.ItemType is Number Type. Database MS Access 2003.

Can you help me?

Advance Thanks,

The example:
With CrystalReport1

.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\RPTInvoice.rpt"
.WindowShowCloseBtn = True
.WindowShowRefreshBtn = True
.WindowState = crptMaximized
.WindowShowSearchBtn = True
.WindowTitle = "Invoice "

criteria = "{FaxOut.Bil}=" & Val(txtBil1) & ""
.SelectionFormula = criteria

.Action = 1
End With
