CR viewer without menu bars

[Honsolo]

Hello

I need to convert a crystal report to a file that can be sent via e-mail. After many hours of searching and coding I came up with a way to copy the CR viewer page to a picture box and save it to a BMP file.

My problem now is I don't want the menu bars around the page. I only want to save the viewer portion. Is there a way to bring up the CR viewer page without the menus. That would finalize my problem.

I am also open to good suggestions on how to convert the CR page to a PDF or BMP in other ways. The page I am saving is a bid sheet I need to e-mail to the customer thru the VB6 program I have written. I am using CR9.

Thank you

There lots of posts in this forum about exporting to pdf, do some searching in this forum and you should find what you need.

Thats the problem I need an RPT file from CR to work. and all my files in my program are DSR and all these scrips I get won't read them.

this is the script I am using to capture the form. Is there a way to set perimeters that will cut out the menus. I'm using the " Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureClient(Form8)" to get the inside of the form.


Private Sub optCapture_Click(index As Integer)

Dim EndTime As Date

frameSave.Enabled = True

Select Case index
Case 0
Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureScreen()
Case 1
Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureForm(Me)
Case 2
Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureClient(Form8)
Case 3
If vbOK = MsgBox("The active window will be captured five seconds after you click OK.", _
vbOKCancel + vbInformation, "Capture Active Window") Then
' Wait for two seconds.
EndTime = DateAdd("s", 5, Now)
Do Until Now > EndTime
DoEvents
Loop
Set Picture1.Picture = CaptureActiveWindow()
' Set focus back to form.
'ROB commented out Me.SetFocus AND used next line instead.
ShowWindowPlease Me
Else
optCapture(3).Value = False
End If
Case 4
Set Picture1.Picture = Nothing
frameSave.Enabled = False
End Select

End Sub

Never mind I found the formatting on the page as was able to make it work good enough
