Which version of Crystal Reports for VB6?

I have an application that I need to include some reporting. Nothing fancy, just reports. The only reporting control I have tried is Visual Reports. I liked it because instead of just getting data from a datasource for each detail line, I could just manually calculate data or include whatever I wanted in there.

What is the cheapest version of Crystal Reports i could get for my app that i could also distribute with it? Or does anyone know of a cheaper and easier method?I could take the extra effort and just create my own coding in VB6 I'm sure.

Thanks

I don't think there is a "cheap" version of Crystal Reports.

Are you a corporate or commerical developer?

To distribute the report components with your app legaly you need to have a license for the Developer version of CR (currently only selling CR11 from them). Look on E-bay for the best pricing, you could use version 9,10 or 11 I would stay a way from 8 because of changes in the way you output reports.

Do use data reports with VB 6.0 , cheapest solution.

The VB 6 intallation CD has version 4.6 of Crystal Reports.

It doesn't have the functionality of Crystal 8.5, 9, 10, or 11, but it may be enough for your purposes. This Crystal Reports software is not installed by default as it was with VB 5, you must find it on the CD and install it separately.
