RDC Printing: Will NOT print Drill-Down Pages

[BradB]

CR8.5
VB 6.0 SP5

I have a Visual Basic application using RDC to view and print reports. The reports print fine unless I try to print drill down material. No matter what the user does, it will only print whatever is on the top layer.

For example, I have a summary of all the sales for the month. When I double click on a sales rep, the drill down detail appears. While on the details page, I click print. It will ONLY print the Summary or ie the top pages.

The report detail prints fine when I try to print it IN Crystal Reports Developer Edition , but doesn't work in the VB application.

Here's the code:
'general declarations
Dim CrxApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
Public crxReport As CRAXDRT.Report
Option Explicit

Private Sub CRViewer1_PrintButtonClicked(UseDefault As Boolean)
UseDefault = False

crxReport.PrinterSetup frmRDC.hWnd
crxReport.PrintOut True

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
Me.WindowState = vbMaximized
With CRViewer1
.ReportSource = frmMain.crxReport
.EnableExportButton = True
.EnableCloseButton = True
.EnableStopButton = True
.EnableDrillDown = True
.EnableProgressControl = True
.EnableRefreshButton = True
.EnableNavigationControls = True
.EnableZoomControl = True
.ViewReport
End With

Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

End Sub

Hmmm...:O

We are having the same problem when trying to print drill-down sections from Crystal Enterprise (CE). The functionality works in CR but not in CE... We have raised this as an issue with Crystal Decisions and were told that they will have to do some development to solve this. :-(

I'm STILL having problems with this. I just can't figure it out.

Wow! There is a work around. I JUST found this on Crystal Decisions website.

Search for the sample application:
