[RESOLVED] How to print a report without having to view it?

Good day,
I'm trying to develop one of my own applications in VB6 and I wanted to print out a receipt(created from crystal report 8.5) automatically? I use this simple code just to view a sample report:

Note: used the crystal report ocx for this one

VB Code:

With CrystalReport1

VB Code:

.DataFiles(0) = XXXXXXXXXXXX

VB Code:

.ReportFileName = XXXXXXXXX

VB Code:

.Action = 1

VB Code:

End With

but I want to know how to print a report without having to view it. Can you help me please?

Try this

VB Code:

With CrystalReport1
      .DataFiles(0) = XXXXXXXXXXXX
      .ReportFileName = XXXXXXXXX
      .Destination = crptToPrinter '<<==== add this line
      .Action = 1
End With

Problem Solved!

Please post your questions on the open forum. If you have a question, chances are very good that someone else is going to have the same question at some point, and it a question is answered in a PM, that future member is not going to find an answer.

When you use crptToPrinter Crystal will use whatever is currently setup on the machine as the default printer, regardless of where that printer is.
