I believe this is a variation of the same question you have asked earlier :rolleyes: regarding adding CR in SSTAB
Anyway try this... Goto Project->Add Crystal Reports 11 and follow the wizard. :wave:

Have you installed CR XI in your system. If so which Product key did you use (Developer/Designer). Uninstall your CR XI and again install, but this time make sure you use the Developer Key.

My installation type was CR Developer (Product Type:Full). Can it be used to add in the crystal report to VB6?

sure why not.
Now click on Project Menu and let us know what are the listings found there (you may even post a snapshot). Also let us know if you have meddled with the default layout of vb6 installation.

Re: how to add crystal report xi into vb6

what do you find in More ActiveX Designers... also check in other Top level Menus
I cannot comment on cr 2008. Rob had given you some guidance in your other post as to 2008.

The item that is inside More ActiveX Designers is the "Data Environment" . Other Top level menu did'nt mention about Crystal reports.

The url address that Rob has given was the Crystal reports 2008 website, but there are not much info regarding how to add the crystal report to vb6. if you have a sample on how to add crystal reports xi to vb6, please share it with me. Thanks.:wave:

ofcourse. Thats how this forum is flourishing.
Ok since your CR is not listed...Click on Project->components (CTL+T) and scroll to see if you have CR Activex report Viewer Library 11.0 tick it. Now you should have viewer component in the Tool box. Put it in the form

Re: how to add crystal report xi into vb6

Add ref to ....

Code:

Crystal reports ActiveX Designer Runtime Library 11.0 Crystal reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.0

make the form & viewer large enough.
In the project explorer of vb you should see CrystalReport1. click it you should see the same things as a normal CR Form (Database, special fields etc). Manipulate them as you like...

There is another easy method. Simply make a report as per your requirements. In the form where you just placed the viewer add this code..

Code:

Dim appln As New CRAXDDRT.Application Dim Report As New CRAXDDRT.Report Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Top = 0 Me.Height = MDI1.Height Me.Left = (MDI1.Width - Me.Width) \ 2 Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass Set Report = appln.OpenReport(App.Path & "yourreport.rpt") Report.Database.Tables(1).Location = App.Path & "\yourdb.mdb" Report.Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties("Database Password") = "yourpassword" CRViewer.ReportSource = Report CRViewer.ViewReport CRViewer.Zoom (100) Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault End Sub Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer) Set Report = Nothing Set appln = Nothing End Sub Private Sub Form_Resize() CRViewer.Top = 0 CRViewer.Left = 0 CRViewer.Height = ScaleHeight CRViewer.Width = ScaleWidth End Sub
