    Did Crystal Reports come with VB6?

    I use VB6 and have never needed to create reports until now. Did Crystal Reports come with VB6 or did everyone buy it? I have looked at ActiveReports and Visual Reports and like them but hate to pay for something if I have it.

    Also, one question. Can you preview a report on the screen with Crystal Reports before printing? And if you can preview it, when you print it can you hard code which printer it goes to?

    Thanks!

    Yes, it was version 4.6 and came on the VS CD burried somewhere deep in the directory structure as crystal32.ocx I believe. Its very limited and wouldnt recommend it unless its for personal or basic use.

    CR can be previewed in its CR Viewer (Crystal32.ocx) control.

    Check out businessobjects.com for any possible trial or evaluation versions for download.

    Versions of Crystal that ship with VB are the Standard version. Typically, standard versions of anything are very limited in their abilities. They have just enough features to whet your whistle without having enough features to actually allow you to do anything really productive.

    The purpose behind this is to get you interested enough in the product so you will go out and purchase their Professional, or even better for them, their Enterprise editions.
