Print a Crystal Report

This is a working example of printing a saved Crystal Report. You need to add the Crystal Report references to your project:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    
   'Print a saved Crytal Report
   
   'Visual Basic 6.0
   'Crystal reports 8.0
 
   Dim rsTempRecordset As New ADODB.Recordset
   Dim CR_CustomApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
   Dim CR_CustomReport As CRAXDRT.Report
   Dim prn As Printer
   
   'Using SQL 2000
   
   With cnCMS
       .CursorLocation = adUseClient
       .ConnectionString = "MSDASQL.1;" & _
          "Persist Security Info=True;" & _
          "User ID=sa;" & _
          "Password='';" & _
          "Data Source=CMS"
       .Open
   End With
    
   'You can use the data saved with the report.  I want it fresh everytime.
    
   With rsTempRecordset
      If .State = adStateOpen Then
          .Close
      End If
      .ActiveConnection = cnCMS
      .LockType = adLockOptimistic
      .Source = "Select * from ScanDocumentsErrors "
      .Open
   End With
    
   Set CR_CustomReport = CR_CustomApp.OpenReport("c:\@@crystal\TwainReport.rpt", 1)
   
   'Use can use the printer saved with the report and skip this part.  Or
   'use the loop to display the printer avaiable to you.  Mine were:
   
   ' Availble Printer names:
        ' TPA
        ' Federal
        ' hp LaserJet
        ' State
   
   For Each prn In Printers
      If prn.DeviceName Like "*LaserJet*" Then
         Set Printer = prn
         Exit For
      End If
    Next
 
   CR_CustomReport.SelectPrinter prn.DriverName, prn.DeviceName, prn.Port
   
   'Get rid of saved date
   
   CR_CustomReport.DiscardSavedData
                    
   'Use can use the orientation saved with the report or override it.
   'DefaultPaperOrientation = 0
   'Portrait = 1
   'Landscape = 2
   
   CR_CustomReport.PaperOrientation = 2
                    
   CR_CustomReport.Database.SetDataSource rsTempRecordset
   
   CR_CustomReport.PrintOut False
   
   Set CR_CustomReport = Nothing
   Set rsTempRecordset = Nothing
   cnCMS.Close
    
End Sub

Where's the show report?

That an old post. I don't even remember it but from the comments I was just showing:
