VB6 with Crystal Report 9

[naikosen]

I have created an application using VB6 and Crystal Report9. This application is running smoothly. But when I want to run it in other computers having no crystal report installed, displays no report.

I copied Crviewer9.dll and Craxdrt.ocx and applied on other computers. Even now no report is displayed. What to do?

You have to build distribution package - VB6 has Package & Deployment Wizard.
It is simple to use - you just have to follow on-screen instructions.

HOWEVER, Crystal Reports quite often requires some additional files (dll mostly) that may not necessary be included into distribution automatically by the wizard (any wizard that is).
Older C rystal Reports (like 8 and 9 versions) used to have help file for developers so go to Crystal installation folder, find that file, open it and get list of mandatory distribution files and make sure your package includes all you need.
If you have to add more files then there is an option to add additional files in the wizard.

For more information on distributing your application visit our Application Deployment forum.
