Dim crApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim crRe As New CRAXDRT.Report

Private Sub FormLoad()

Set crRe = crApp.OpenReport(App.Path & "\Report\customers.rpt")
LoadData
End Sub

Private Sub LoadData()
Dim cmdApp As Adodb.Command
Dim fld As FieldObject



Set cmdApp = New adodb.Command
cmdApp.ActiveConnection = Connect.cn
cmdApp.CommandTimeout = 15
cmdApp.CommandType = adCmdText
cmdApp.CommandText = "Select customerID, CustomerName from Customers Where CustomerCountry='VietNam'"
cmdApp.Execute
crRe.Database.AddADOCommand Connect.cn, cmdApp


Set fld = crRe.Sections(3).AddFieldObject("{ADO.customerID}", crRe.customerID.Left, crRe.customerID.Top)

SetFields fld, crRe.customerID.Font.Name, crRe.customerID.Font.Size, False, crRe.customerID.Height, crRe.customerID.Width, crRe.customerID.HorAlignment

Set fld = crRe.Sections(3).AddFieldObject("{ADO.customerName}", crRe.customerName.Left, crRe.customerName.Top)

SetFields fld, crRe.customerID.Font.Name, crRe.customerName.Font.Size, False, crRe.customerName.Height, crRe.customerName.Width, crRe.customerName.HorAlignment
