What reporting program are you using ?

[RohanWest]

I am using Crystal Reports, it comes with Visual Basic, I am just not sure how to use it, i need to execute SQL statements that will update the records displayed on the report.

If there are any other methods then i would love to know how to use them.

What version of crystal/VB have you got? In most cases it's simply a matter of selecting the SP and using it. Crystal has some satanic quirks though, like not displaying stored procedures by default. To see them in V8, you have to right click the database fields, click options then tick 'Show stored procedures'. Hope this helps!

This is the code I use to open a report which has been constructed in VB.

Private Sub mnureport_Click()
Form1.Data1.Refresh
Form1.Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst
Form1.Report1.DataFiles(0) = " path to Access database "
Form1.Report1.ReportFileName = " path to report "
Form1.Report1.PrintFileName = " path to report "
Form1.Report1.Action = 1
End Sub

If you wish to report on a selected field(s) I add this line of code after PrintFileName line.

Form1.Report1.SelectionFormula = '"{Table1.Field} = '" _
& Form1.Text1.Text & "'"

This is for Text and if you are selection on number , leave out the '

Hope this is what you are after.
