HELP!! Guide to crystal viewer???

[billy911]

Hi (Sorry Im very wet behind the ears)
I have been searching the internet for days for a 'step by step'guide for activating the Crystal viewer from MS access or MS excel.

I have recently upgraded from Crystal 7 to Crystal 9 Developer. In crystal 7 I used to compile my reports then just put a "Run Application" Button on My Access form (It was that simple). I know this has all changed in CR9 but I can find a simple walk through of what I should do now.

I have no problem with creating the reports But I am no programmer.
If anyone could help I would be very gratefull,I'm going out of my mind....

Thankyou

Don't worry about it; I lost my mind long time ago and have been much happier ever since.

A very BIG THANK YOU to you both.
I had looked at them earlier and got an error message when I opened them. (Script calling for the activex 8.5) not confident I had found the right version I gave up.
With renewed confidence I tried again and managed to change the activex to version 9 and it works perfectly.
Just need to figure out how to pass my parameters now.

Thanks again for your time

Billy
