crystal report printing

[kokopeli]

this code works at home, but not at work. I am not getting any errors, it just wont print. I can print the report from crystal reports, just not from my App.

Private Sub cmdLeaseReport_Click()
On Error Resume Next
dlgDialog.ShowPrinter
If Err.Number = 32755 Then Exit Sub

CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Lease1.rpt"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.PrintReport

End Sub

Anyone see a problem?

check in the properties of crystal
that to printer is the chosen option...

did you at home set your printer as a default
for the report?
is so, you may have to change that.

I don't remember setting anything at home to my printer. If I open up the report in crystal reports, I can hit the printer icon and it will print to the right printer. If I try to print in my App,I don't even get the printer icon in the tray. Could it have something to do with I only have one priter at home and three at work? How do I return the printer name from crystal and do I have to or does the printer dialog do it for me. This is really frustrating(as usual)

try removing the line "on error resume next" and "if err.number="" exit sub end if" to see if any errors come up
then debug from there, hope this helps

[kokopeli]

I commented out those lines and still nothing. The pointer turns to hourglass for about a second(if that means anything), but no printing.

i believe you will have to set the location
of the database again through crystal reports

which version are you using?

[kokopeli]

I have the version that ships with VB6. I have set the path using "Verify Database", is that what you mean. I am new to crystal reports so if I need to do something else can you tell me the steps.

anyone have a clue

Try This

To check which printer is attached use this code
before your CR action.

CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter

I have that already, don't I? Is there a way to see where its supposed to print with a Debug.Print. Maybe that will show me something. If so, can you explain.

Private Sub cmdLeaseReport_Click()
On Error Resume Next
dlgDialog.ShowPrinter  ' here is the ShowPrinter
If Err.Number = 32755 Then Exit Sub

CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Lease1.rpt"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.PrintReport

End Sub

[code]
Private Sub cmdLeaseReport_Click()
On Error Resume Next
dlgDialog.ShowPrinter ' here is the ShowPrinter
If Err.Number = 32755 Then Exit Sub

CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\Lease1.rpt"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.PrintReport

End Sub

this is my code

In the project components I have:

Crystal Report Control
Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 (SP3)

[code]

Private Sub Print()

Commondialog1.CancelError = True
On Error GoTo Errorhandler
Commondialog1.ShowPrinter
frm_Printer.Show ' just a printer image form
Start = Timer
pause = 1
Do While Timer < Start + pause
DoEvents
Loop

' Print report
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = report1

CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter ' if standard in properties no need to put it here

CrystalReport1.Action = 1 'starts printing

Unload frm_Printer ' unload printer image form

Errorhandler:
'some text

End Sub
But as i mentioned, I'm using CR Vers. 7


Good Luck
