Opening Crystal Report in VB6

Hello every1,

I am experiencing some difficulty opening Crystal reports that i have created in VB6 on other machines(some which do not have Crystal Reports).

I am using an access database which i connect to from crystal. The databse and crystal report files(*.rpt) are in the same folder.

I create a simple report, retrieving data from a database then save the report in the same folder as the vb6 project and the database. I then ditribute the vb6 project folder to another machine.

when trrying to open the vb6 project it gives crystal report errors. Even if i have CR on that machine it still gives errors opening and does not display any data. please help.

thanks millions ;)

Have you made references to the required Crystal Reports objects? If you`re using the RDC component you`ll need a reference to the Crystal Reports Designer Run-Time library and possibly the Report viewer library.

What are the errors that you are getting?

Thanks for your reply. The error I am getting is "Physical Database Not Found"

How do you connect to the database? Do you use DAO or ADO?

I can use both(Can you show me both ways) but when i distribut my report with my vb app and Databse i get all sorts of errors including the one above. pleae show me how to create a report then distibute it to other pc's without Crystal. Thanx for your help :ehh:

If you are using Crystal Reports you will have to distribute the Crystal runtime dependancy files with your setup package. There is no way around that.

What installation package are you using?

I am using a PAckage called Install Creator. What Files would i need if i am distributing it to WinXP machines?
