Data report designer question

Hi,

Can the VB6 Data Report Designer run if it has no data source?

What I'm trying to do is to display and then print a report with values that were entered and or calculated that are held in some text boxes on my main form.

In the main form module this doesn't seem to work:

rptMyReport.text1.text = txtName.text

I get an object or method not defined error.

Nor this in the Data Report Initialize event:

text1.text = frmMain.txtName.text

I get an object required error.

I imagine I can write the data to a text file, but can the Data Report Designer use a text file as a data source? Hell, can the Crystal Report Component? If they can I'm having trouble figuring how to connect them.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

What is the purpose of all this ???

don't set the textfield but the caption of a label !

RptMY.Sections("ReportHeader")
.Controls("lblTypOMyrpt").Caption = "This is working"

Thanks for your help Kersey,

I did the following which worked:
rptMyReport.Sections("Section1").Controls.Item("Label1").Caption = strMyVariable

All I want to do is to print out some data from the user form onto a report. I don't need to store it anywhere nor do I need the user to go back to it later.

I still couldn't get this the data report to open without a data source, currently I'm using an OLE DB driver for an ODBC Text Driver connected to a bogus text file as my data source.

Now if I can open this report without having a data source, I'll be all set.
