Crystal Report & VB Printing

[mikegt]

I have a combo box that contain a list of installed printers. However this only have the printer names. I also need the following info for crystal reports:

CurrentPrintDriver = Printer.DriverName
CurrentPrintName = Printer.DeviceName
CurrentPrintPort = Printer.Port

CrystalReport1.PrinterDriver = CurrentPrintDriver
rystalReport1.PrinterName = CurrentPrintName
CrystalReport1.PrinterPort = CurrentPrintPort

Can anyone please help me with this???


Thanks.

intPrinter = 1
For Each oPrn In Printers
strPrinterDriver(intPrinter) = oPrn.DriverName
strPrinterPort(intPrinter) = oPrn.Port
cboInvoicePrinter.AddItem oPrn.DeviceName
intPrinter = intPrinter + 1
Next

You can write these values to arrays while you are populating the combo box.

Hi there,

Hope you can help me. I am a beginner, trying to use Crystal reports. In my VB6 program, when the user clicks a command button, the crystal report has to opened.

How can I do this? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello mikegt

I was wondering if you know much about charting in Crystal Reports? I have a problem with my chart.

Thanks jeffro.

Thanks for your help and time.

Could you pls.be more specific about
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName property.

What are the declarations I have to make at the beginning?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
