[Resolved] [2005] Getting Started With Crystal XI

[Jigabyte]

Hi All,

I have only just got used the new way of code crystal reports in VB6 and now I want to code it in VS2005 and don't know where to start. I have seen examples where you populate in code a dataset and get the report to point and display the results but I want to pass and SQL string to my report and use the report viewer to show the report. I also want to be able to set the path of each table in the report.

Can anyone please help with this, I don't have a clue how to get started.

Cheers very much in advance,

Jiggy!

Public crxReport As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Public crxFormulaFields As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormulaFieldDefinitions
Public crxFormulaField As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormulaFieldDefinition

Dim iTables As Integer

crxReport.Load(sReportPath & "Test.RPT", CrystalDecisions.Shared.OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault)

For iTables = 0 To crxReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
With crxReport.Database.Tables(iTables)
.Location = sDataPath & "Morrisons.MDB"
End With
Next

crxMain.ReportSource = crxReport

If Destination = enumPrinterDestination.crxPreview Then
crxMain.Show()
Else
crxMain.PrintReport()
Me.Close()
End If
