Opening Crystal Reports 10.0 report using VB 6.0

[css1015]

Hi,

I am totally new to Crystal Reports 10.0 from the programming point of view. Crystal Reports 8.5 used to provide a Crystal Report control that I could place on my VB 6.0 form and launch the 8.5 report from within VB 6.0.

But with Crystal Reports 10.0, that control is not available. I am not sure which component or control I need to use to assign properties to in my VB 6.0 code. I am sure someone has accomplished this before, if they can provide details of the control/component and what the code for assigning properties to it are, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Chad

I believe what you're speaking of is the OCX, which was no longer recommended even in CR 8.5, it was there for backward compatibility.

Time to rewrite it using the RDC:
