What version of Crystal Report are you using?
What is the purpose of this report?
Do you need to connect to a database, or are you just importing values from your program?

Give us a detailed description, and you'll get a detailed answer.

I M Uusing 8.5
The Purpose Is Report To Print All Customer Record From Access Database.

I export my reports to PDF as we do not want people moving the data into spreadsheets. But, play with the '**' line to see the different exports available.
Be sure to reference Crystal Reports.

VB Code:

Dim application1 As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim report As New CRAXDRT.Report
report = application1.OpenReport("reports/reportname.rpt, 1)
 
report.RecordSelectionFormula = "({command.idjobs})= " & projectoprint
report.ExportOptions.FormatType = CRExportFormatType.crEFTPortableDocFormat '**
report.ExportOptions.DestinationType = CRExportDestinationType.crEDTApplication
 
savename = Replace(filename, "rpt", "pdf")
report.ExportOptions.ApplicationFileName = "reports/pdf/savename.pdf"
 
            Try
                report.Export(False)
                report = Nothing
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox(ex.ToString)
            End Try

As for creating the report, use the wizard build into Crystal Reports.
