[VB4] Software Update Help

[Schott]

Happy new year everyone. How are you all doing?

Today, this guy on the office asked for my help to update a software.

Its a pretty simple program. Its a report generator that uses Crystal Reports and Access. The problem is that it was written in VB4.

A simple description of what the software does:

When you run it, youll find yourself in a windows where you can select what kind of reports to print. You just select the boxes for each report. Then you'll click on Print and thats it. As it is today, there is no pre-visualization before printing or anything else.

I've been asked to make it so the reports can be visualized before they are printed and that a virtual copy of the reports should be saved in a specific directory.


I was wondering if any of you could help me out with a few recomendations, as I never used VB4 before.

Are there compatibility problems between VB4 and the newest versions of VS and Crystal Reports I should know?

To make the pre-visualization for each report, would it be enough to call CrystalReportViewer1 in a different form?

Those are just some specif doubts I have. Any general recommendation would be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty lost right now.

Thank you ery much =)
