Print a report into file 1

[Guest_imported]

I use Crystal Report V5 with Visual Basic 6.
I would like put the result of the report into a file.
For exemple : File format Word, RTF ,...
Can you help me, thanks
NB: If it's possible, can we create a pdf file with the
report to read it with Acrobate Reader

If you want to export a report to PDF you will first need to download the Crystal Reports plug-in that will allow you to do this from their homepage. As far as I know it's still only been released as a BETA version but I have had no problems with it.

You then need to use this code to export it:

'Converts Crystal Report to PDF using *BETA* drivers
Dim crxExportOptions As CRAXDDT.ExportOptions

Set crxExportOptions = Report.ExportOptions

crxExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
crxExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
crxExportOptions.DiskFileName = "c:\TestPDF.pdf"

Report.Export False


This should hopefully solve your problem!

Leave your email address, I can send it to you if you like. Otherwise go into the Seagate website(May have changed now due to them being called Crystal Decisions since early March), and look around a bit - I assure you its somewhere in there!!
