Crystal Reports upgrade in VB6

[misterMark]

Hello, I am maintaining some old code and we have upgraded to CR XI from 8.5. Some of the methods used are breaking my build and I cannot find any reference as to what the new call woudl be. I am only looking to upgrade a few lines.

crptToFile, crptExcel50, and crptMaximized

are the only things I need to change to something that CR XI can use. If anyone has any references or just knows, the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forums.

There is the CR site http://businessobjects.com. I'll look up thoise constants for you as I have access to XI and 8.5.

thank you for the kind welcome and timely response. I am poking around the BusinessObjects Website right now although, it does not have a great deal of info on it, I am still looking.

I want to thank you in advance for looking into this for me. I shoudl have included it in the original post, but there is just one more method I need to upgrade.

It is crptToWindow

Thanks Again

I think this should do it.

crEFTExcel50
Const crEFTExcel50 = 21


What are the other two used in?

all of the code is in VB6 let me give you the specific lines.


frmMain.rptGeneral.WindowState = crptMaximized

and

frmMain.rptGeneral.Destination = crptToWindow




thanks so much again

Ok the crptToWindow should be crEDTApplication

Const crEDTApplication = 5

and the crptMaximized may be crMaxView
Const crMaxView = 16 but not sure as there is no WindowState that I could find.
