How to integrete Crystal Report with VB?

Hi-
I normally use crystal report 4.6 which comes with VB but now I would like to use Crystal report 8.0 .I would like to know is there any specific folder I have install the crystal report? And after installation how can I integrate the crystal report control in my application. This is though a very basic question but if somebody know its, help me?

Sohel

add the crystal report control to your form from
the references -> components menu

i keep all of my reports in a special folder used
only to house my crystal reports and reference the
folder with a Constant pointing to that folder.

Code:

---

Const Use_ReportsPath = "c:\Crystal Reports\"


    'print report
    CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = Use_ReportsPath & "OP119A.rpt"
    CrystalReport1.PrintReport
    DoEvents

---

if you want to print to the printer, right click on the
crystal report control and select printer, i believe it
defaults to window, in which case CrystalReport1 will open
a window and show the report.

But the problem is...I did not find crystal report in components. I have to install crytal report 8.0, So exactly which location I have to install

Thanks

Once you install CR8.0, it will automatically
register for you. By right, it will appear
in your component list.

If u don't have it downthere after the installation,
it means there is something wrong with
the installation.

You can do manual registration (not recommended) by
using REGSVR32 command.
