[darith]

Hi all, I am using vb6 with crystal report 10. I can call crystal report and it works, but i want to know if we run another computer that don't install crystal report program it can't work. How can we call crystal report with vb6 but we no need to set up crystal report program? If i delete crystal report program, i can't run it. It shows error "Activex component can't not find". Please help me.

thank beforehand.

Other computers only need the Crystal Runtime files installed. If you have the proper Edition (like the Developers Edition) there should be a Crystal Merge Module on your hard-drive (look for files with a MSM extension).

The help file has all the information you need.

You need to make a Setup Package with your exe file, your data files, your rpt files and all the dll, ocx files neccesary for you project

Then install it in any client pc and you shouldn't have any problem

Thera are several tools that can make that SetUp Package

You can use the Package & Deployment Wizard (PDW) that comes with VB6
