I am using VB5 and Crystal 7. I am using the crystal automation server objects to access and manipulate the reports.<br><br>I have used the dictionary to give some abstraction on the data source, which I then use in the reports. The problem I have found is the of logging on to the oracle database.<br><br>The help found so far has been for the API or the ActiveX control, neither of which are very helpful.<br>
