Point me in the right direction regarding passing Criteria from VB to 1

[RiverGuy]

I'm basically pretty lost. My table I'm reporting from has an autonumber ID. Runs off SQL Server. I want to open my report based off a certain ID.

So I have a form, and a use clicks a button, and opens the report showing that Record with the certain ID only.

My only question is--how do I go about this? I am new to Crystal, and I can't find any of those types of properties within the VB code when you make a report with the designer. Do I send a SQL expression, formula field, parameter, or what?

And do I place it on the form that has the viewer, or on the code in the designer itself?

Thanks for any advice.

There are several different ways to do this depnding on your integration method and wether you want to pass a recordset or have CR do the record selection. See See faq149-237 for the different integration methods. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

To tell you the truth, I dont know which DLL's I'm using or integration method. All I know is that I'm using the Crystal 8.5 designer method from within VB, which I figured would reference the right files for me to make one from scratch. But now that I check my references, there is a ton of more Crystal files I can reference. I'll start with Crystal Reports Library and see if that gets me anywhere.

Thanks.
