Mr. Babu,

I want to run a crystal report from VB 6.0. What all references should I make. If possible, send me a sample code for testing.

Hi,

I'm not Babu. But hope I can help you.

To call crystal report in your vb application, first you have to make reference to the following library files.

Crystal Report ActiveX Runtime Library
Crystal Report Viewer Control 9

Then you have to create objects in the folg. way.

Dim Appl As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim Report As New CRAXDRT.Report

'Write this code where you want to invoke the report

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set Report = Appl.OpenReport("report path")
Report.DiscardSavedData

'If report have parameter fields

Report.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue variable1
Report.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue variable2

CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
CRViewer1.ViewReport

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this will work!

Babu,

if you find any error, pls just let us know.

Hi harmonycitra,

Thank you for helping others.

We have to inform that the report (.rpt) file create from Crystal report IDE, Then we can open the report file from OpenReport() method.

Set Report = Appl.OpenReport(app.path & "\myreport.rpt")

Hi,
I am using VB6.0 , Access 2000,abd CR 8.0.
I am using the following code.


'Add reference to Crystal Reports x.x ActiveX Designer RunTime Library
'Add component Crystal Reports Viewer Control
'Add reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library
'oCnn = current open ADO connection object
Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim oApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim oReport As CRAXDRT.Report
Dim oRs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sSQL As String

sSQL = "SELECT * FROM Table1"
Set oRs = New ADODB.Recordset
Set oRs = oCnn.Execute(sSQL)
Set oApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
Set oReport = oApp.OpenReport(App.Path & "\MyReport.rpt", 1)
(1) oReport.Database.SetDataSource oRs, 3, 1
crvMyCRViewer.ReportSource = oReport
crvMyCRViewer.ViewReport

End Sub

I am getting an error report on line marked (1) that " Subscript beyond Range". I assume that this is due to declaration of oRs as Recordsat and the value required in place of oRs in the same line is "data".
I am not able to find a solution.
Can anyone please tell me how to proceed ?
Thank You,
