Reports

Hi, :wave:

I created a program that does not use a database rather the user input is stored in variables. I need to be able to report the data contained in the variables to the user on the screen and on a printed report. I don't have enough space on a form to show all the data.

Can I use Crystal Reports without using a database?

What type of reporting tool does vb have that can get its data from the variables?

I appreciate your help.

you could use Crystal for this but it's not worth it.

why don't you create a little html template for the report by hand and write a function to insert your stored variables into it. then you can display it to the user using a standard html display control and allow them to print it as well.

Not too familiar with making html templates.

When I start the CR report designer, it asks for the data source and it only allows for database connections. How can I tell crystal reports that I want to use the data from variables.

Thanks a ton.
