Couple of Crystal questions...

1) I need my report to appear twice on the same page so I can cut it in half. How can I make it 'mirror' itself in the botton half of the page?

2) How can I tell my report what printer will it use, and finally

3) How do I make it print without getting the printers prompt? I tried CRViewer1.PrintReport but I get the prompt... Thanks in advance!
:wave:

No idea about question #1.

For questions 2 and 3 I am assuming your report is currently being viewed in the crviewer control (why are you not using the Print button on the control).

Anyways, use the methods of the CRAXDRT.Report object instead.
I have Version 8.5 with some hot fixes.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim objReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set objReport = CRViewer1.ReportSource
 
    objReport.PrinterSetup 0 
    'Or objReport.PrinterSetupEx 0        
    'depends on your version
    
    objReport.PrintOut False 'print the report
 
End Sub

Thanks a milllion Bruce!

I dont want to use the print button on the crviewer because I have a number of tems on a listview ans must print a new report for each one. Thats why I want to be able to print automatically, so my routine can print the reports while looping thru the listview.

Does "objReport.PrinterSetup 0" make the report use the default printer?

So there is no reason to use the CRViewer.

VB Code:

Dim objReport as CRAXDRT.Report
 
Set objReport = <CrystalAppObject>.OpenReport(PathToReport)
 
'Set any parameter fields
 
objReport.ReadRecords
objReport.PrintOut False

objReport.PrinterSetup 0 - shows a dialog that allows the user to select a printer.

As far as I know the report is always printed to the default printer.

There is another method called PrinterSelect or is it SelectPrinter that allows you to set the printer in code without a dialog box.

Hey Bruce I solved question 1 by adding the same subreport twice in the same report and playing around with the spacing until they are the same size and take the whole page.
