Crystal Activex Report Viewer

[TigerFan987]

I'm trying to add the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer control to my Access form. I have already created the crystal report and would like to be able to view it from the form. I can't find any documentation on how to use the control to view the report. How do I set the control properties to be able to view the report when the form loads.

Thanks,
Brent

Have you got something like this?

Crystalreport1.ReportFileName = rpt_name 
Crystalreport1.Destination = crptToWindow 
Crystalreport1.WindowState = crptMaximized 
Crystalreport1.WindowShowNavigationCtls = True 
Crystalreport1.WindowShowPrintBtn = True 
Crystalreport1.WindowShowRefreshBtn = True 
Crystalreport1.LogonInfo(0) = "pwd3" 
Crystalreport1.Action = 1

So I've added the crystal activeX report viewer control 11 onto the form and named it CrystalReport1. In the form load event I tried adding your code, but there is no ReportFileName property for CrystalReport1. Am I missing something?

When you say no ReportFileName property, do you mean that the property does not pop-up with intellisense? If so, this is often the case with ActiveX controls - you need to get information about the various properties elsewhere. Sometimes a good deal of information is available from the right-click menu under the name of the control type.
