runtime engine

[supernova122]

Hi,

I want to know how to use the runtime engine and integrate that
with programming tools. Can anyone please advise me the website which talk
about it? Thanks.

If you look on the cd in the developer folders you find a help file that outlines the entire process. The install seems to be messed up some that it doesn't copy them local when installing the developer portion.

Otherwise i have some white papers from CrystalDecisions on using the API's. I've only used crystal reports through the API's though not the new COM object or activeX controls.

Can I have a look on the white paper? Or if you can give me an scenerio example, will help. Thanks.

This is a link to a white paper on passing parameters (Very Good)

FAQ on Database Connectivity

http://support.crystaldecisions.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr_dbconn_troubleshooting.pdf

This should cover all the major areas you need. I know the parameter faq includes quick info on starting and stopping the engine as well as opening the report.

good luck
