    Crystal Reports in VB6

    I am recently working on an application to interact with databases and generate reports from the data collected. I have used crystal reports before, but I think it's too much of a hassle for the user to need the program to view the reports.

    After some further reading and seaching on this forum, I realised that the Crystal Reports viewer will fill the need. I managed to make the viewer display the report, but there are still a few things I need to tackle.

    I want to know how can I specify the database address through the VB code. Also I wanted to know how can I make queries in VB code to be executed in the report.

    I am using VB 6 and Crystal Reports 10.
    Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It is better you use the ODBC connection to use the CR.
    You can use the recordselectionformula property of the
    CR from within VB code to make queried report...

    Hi,
    I have one suggestion for you , that if u use version 8.5 of crystal report with VB 6.0 or higher for .NET . it will be more feasible and flexible.
    Thanks and Regards,
