You have to include the right dlls in order for the export to work. I use Crystal Reports Version 8.5 and there's a list of the required files in a file called runtime.hlp. (The file may be called something different with other versions of Crystal)


There are 2 types of dlls to include when you want to export: Export Destinations (Application, Disk, MAPI, Lotus Domino, etc... ) and Export Formats (HTML, pdf, doc, text, etc... ). In order to be able to export to text, I had to include U2FTEXT.DLL (from the Export Formats, this dll exports to text format) and U2DDISK.DLL (from the Export Destinations, this dll exports to disk instead of application). I couldn't get it to work if I just included the file to output to application.

Just remember that this is for CR 8.5 and VB 6, so you may or may not be able to use it, but I hope it helps anyway!

aj_patil: When you export the main report, the subreports will be exported with it. No need to do anything else.

dhmshah: Perhaps you can set each of your reports as subreports in one main report. Other than that, I'm not sure if multiple reports can be exported into 1 file.


Also, if you have a new question, you should post it in a new thread instead of onto an old thread. That way, other people who have the same question as you can find the answer easier.
