Hi,
I´m using Visual Basic 6.0 and Crystal Reports8.0
Eveytime I open an existing report using RDC i never need to setLogOninfo and things like that. so, why everyone, including Crystal Decisions, say that we need to do that?
What I think is that, everytime we save a rpt with logoninfo inside, I don´t need to logon by code, right?
Well, the problem however isn´t that. the problem cames when i´m trying to make a clean report. I would like to know how can I add tables to the new report?
By theory, i should:
1) connect to the database:Logoninfo i think
2) Add tables based on that connection
My question is: How can we do that?
the add table method is complety strange. i really dont´like that. I just want to do things like when working with Crystal Reports: select the method to connect...open the connection and chosse the tables..just that. Crystal Decisions had put a lot of strange methods to logon (worst..in diferent objects: Application; table; database; report)...argh!! I honestly think that the object model is not well done about this object. It´s very confusing just to make a simple thing.
I don´t want to use ADO to do that, too. Using the new methods to version 8 like AddOLEDBSource works fine, but I don´t want to use ADO to put tables on my reports!
Just want to use OLEDB or ODBC to connect and then get some tables.
Any help is appreciate.
Thank you
