Help..on passing params to Crystal reports from VB5

[nathb]

I am using VB5.0 and crystal reports 8.5 .
New to crystal reports.

could someone clarify some basic question please.
1. should I use "Crystal reports" control or "Crystal report viewer"
2. I have a report and I need to pass 3 parameter from my VB screen. How can I do that?

thank you
