I have read many threads and I still don't understand. I don't have crystal reports. I am working with the data reporting from vb6.
I have something like this
How do I put that ina pdf file? I have installed pdfCreator for my printer.Code:Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection Cn.CursorLocation = adUseClient Cn.Open "provider=MSDataShape;data provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;Data Source=" + App.Path + "\Software.mdb" If ChkAll.Value = 1 Then s = "Department like '%'" area = "All Departments" Else s = "Department = '" & CmbDept.Text & "'" area = CmbDept.Text End If If s <> "" Then 'MsgBox "SELECT UserID, [Software Title], Version, Department, [Assigned Date], Server FROM [MS Office Licenses] WHERE " & s & " ORDER BY [" & CmbOrderby1.Text & "], [" & CmbOrderby2.Text & "]" Dim rpt As New RptBydept rs.Open ("SHAPE{SELECT Machine, UserID, [Software Title], Version, Department," & _ "[Assigned Date], Server FROM [MS Office Licenses] WHERE " & s & " and " & _ "UserID NOT LIKE '--%' ORDER BY [" & CmbOrderby1.Text & "], [" & CmbOrderby2.Text & "]}" & _ " AS SQL1 " & _ "COMPUTE count(SQL1.Department) AS DeptCount,SQL1 BY Department"), Cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic 'Update fields and datareport control names to those you use 'Set datasource and bind recordset fields. Set rpt.DataSource = rs 'First = False rpt.Sections("Section1").Controls("Text8").DataField = "DeptCount" With rpt.Sections("SQL_Detail") .Controls("Text1").DataField = "UserID" 'where quantity is a field in the recordset .Controls("Text1").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text2").DataField = "Software Title" .Controls("Text2").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text3").DataField = "Version" .Controls("Text3").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text4").DataField = "Department" .Controls("Text4").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text5").DataField = "Server" .Controls("Text5").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text6").DataField = "Assigned Date" .Controls("Text6").DataMember = "SQL1" .Controls("Text7").DataField = "Machine" .Controls("Text7").DataMember = "SQL1" End With rpt.Sections("Section1").Controls("Label17").Caption = area rpt.Show vbModal DoCmd.OpenReport rpt, acViewNormal Unload rpt Call DBDisconnect Set rpt = Nothing 'Unload FrmReports Exit Sub Else MsgBox "Empty Search String" End If
This just errors out "DoCmd.OpenReport rpt, acViewNormal" But I think that is for msAccess instead of regular vb.
How do I take a report like that and make it export to pdf? Also how to I export to pdf with a report.dsr ?
