HELP!! VB 6.0/ ADO/Access 97/CR Professional 8.0

[Bake]

QUESTIONS:
1. CAN I VIEW AND PRINT A COUPLE OF BASIC CRYSTAL REPORTS FROM VB USING THE CRYSTAL 8.0 PROFESSIONAL EDITION CD ONLY?
2. IF YES TO #1, WHERE CAN I GET DOCUMENTATION?
3. IF YES TO #1, ANY SUGGESTIONS TO MY APPROACH?

BACKGROUND:
I am writing a VB 6.0 application with an MS Access 97 database on the network using ADO/ODBC datasource. My customer has a license for Crystal Reports 8.0, but does not have the "developer edition CD".

I would strongly prefer to pass the connection/recordset to crystal instead of storing it in the report.

I can think of three ways to do this:
1. using the cpeaut32.dll which is not installed on my machine.

2. Using the CRAXDRT library, but when I call
Set rptMyReport = appMyApp.OpenReport(App.Path & "\Report1.rpt&quot, nothing happens.

3. There is an crystl32.ocx on the CD, but I've installed the whole ball of wax and the crystl32.ocx did NOT get installed.


Any and all suggestions welcome!!!

Thanks in advance!

To print from VB, you need the developers edition for V8 or the Professional edition for V7. Ken Hamady
