How do I open a Crystal Report in VB so I can see properties 1

[SBendBuckeye]

Is this doable? I would like to open a given Crystal Report in VB so I can follow some formula properties through the report. What I am hoping for is something like the following:

Dim CRObj As CrystalReport
Set CROBJ = etc where I specify a particular .rpt file

Thanks in advance for any help!

Happy New Year!

Not knowing your versions of either product somewhat complicates, and not knowing what following formula properties means yto you, perhaps this will help you get there:

Thanks for the help! I am using VB6 and CR 8.5. My background is more Access and VBA. When I first started learning Access, I learned a lot about how it worked by dimensioning an object in a module and setting a reference to it. I would then kick the code into single step mode and just look through the object references (say application or form) to learn.

That's what I am trying to do here. Anything to get started would be helpful. The links are probably way more information than I currently need.

Thanks again! Happy New Year!
