SAC,

Using CR from within VFP is a big topic, and not something that can be taught in a simple forum message. However, I hope the following will get you started:

loCR = CREATEOBJECT("crystalruntime.application")
loRep = loCR.OpenReport("MyReport.RPT")
loRep.Printout()

The above code will print an existing report. To do anything else, you need to understand the properties and methods of the loCR and loRep objects (amongst others).

The reference that Mike Gagnon gave you is a good place to learn more. Also, read the developers' help file that comes with CR, and check the articles on the Business Objects web site.
