[RESOLVED] Why my SetDataSource do not work?

This may sound stupid, but I am really baffled :rolleyes: . I am new with Crystal Report and am trying to learn to pass a recordset to Crystal Report 8.5. What I did is to use the Report Expert from Crystal Report to simply generate a simple report from Publishers table in Biblio.mdb with PuID, Name, and [Company Name], which looks fine. Then, I modify the original CRViewer form to include this code (in blue below):

Dim Report As New CrystalReport1
Dim WithEvents poRS As Recordset
Dim db As Connection

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim sConnect As String
Dim sSQL As String

Set db = New Connection

sConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Data Source=" & _
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Biblio.mdb"

db.CursorLocation = adUseClient
db.Open sConnect

Set poRS = New Recordset
sSQL = "Select PubID, Name, [Company Name] from Publishers “ & _
“Where PubID > 10"
poRS.Open sSQL, db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

Report.DiscardSavedData
Report.Database.SetDataSource poRS

Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
CRViewer1.ViewReport
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

End Sub

simply to try to test the passing of the recordset. The report run fine, BUT with original data, NOT the passed recordset. It simply ignored my modification, without giving any error sign at all, why? :confused:

Thanks!

I found my error already, is there anyway to take this off the forum?

Nope, we dont remove threads (unless they break forum rules etc).

If you give an explanation of your solution, it may well help people who have similar problems in future. :)

i have the same problem with IndraG, any one can help me..i am newbie in crystal report

OK, for strange reason, if we use a non ttx file for datasource when designing the Crystal Report, it simply just refuses to discard the original data and reset the datasource. So, to solve this problem, use ttx file and active data driver, and it should do the trick. Good luck, Irene
