Crystal Report Reference not working w/in VB App- Use to

[Becca999]

We just opened an old application where the code has not been touched in a while. We are getting a compile error on:

CrwPaperWeight.Destination = crptToPrinter

where crptToPrinter is erroring with variable not define.

Could it be a reference problem? We were getting an error on the CrwPaperWeight (it is a picture box on the form). We added a reference to Crystal Report Viewer and that error went away.

Any ideas?
Thanks!!

We figure it out - we needed to add Crystal Report Object to the application and convert the picture boxes to Crystal Report Objects!!

We have decided NOT to use CR for images. We have had too many hickups as CR can not handle large image size so we had created out own preview and print engine.

We found CR is only really good for Reporting and general business printouts. Many formatting function are not available. Still, It's a good reporting tool though, no doubt about that.
