I have inherited a "system" with 7 main applications written in vb6 using DAO which I am converting to ADO. These are access databases. Four of the applications use Crystal version 8 and three use ActiveReports 2.0. In the main application, there are maybe 75 crystal reports! Here is the problem. As far as I can tell, the vb6 makes an external call to Crystal for each report which makes it slow and difficult to debug. So, what I am asking is twofold. First, what version of Crystal should I be using? I understand some versions mesh with vb6 while version 8 does not. Secondly, are there any examples of how to call crystal reports from vb6? Thanks for any help.
