Crystal Reports????

If yes, it depends on your Version and Edition of Crystal. You can access almost anything via the Crystal Runtime Libraries. Set a reference to the proper library and then utilize the objects to manipulate your report at runtime.

For Version 8.5 set a reference to Crystal Reports 8.5 ActiveX Designer Run time Library. This sample code sets the Text of a Text Object control that is in the Page Header.

VB Code:

Private oCrystalApp As CRAXDRT.Application
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim oReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Dim oTextBox As CRAXDRT.TextObject
    
    Set oReport = oCrystalApp.OpenReport("c:\northwind.rpt", 1)
    Set oTextBox = oReport.Sections("Section1").ReportObjects("Text1")
 
    oTextBox.SetText "Hello World"
    
    'show the report in the Crystal Report Viewer Control.
    CRViewer1.ReportSource = oReport
    CRViewer1.ViewReport
 
    Set oReport = Nothing
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set oCrystalApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Set oCrystalApp = Nothing
End Sub
