Using a VB-6 app to connect to BOE-XI (R2) - SDK?

[MJRBIM]

I'm pretty sure the answer is NO, but I wanted to post it here for confirmation.

We have a large legacy VB-6 application that uses RAS-9 for reporting.

The version 9 tools are no longer supported by Crystal/BOBJ - and we have an existing BOE-XI (R2) Premium infrastructure that is used by all our newer .NET applications.

Is there a supported method of updating our large legacy VB-6 application to use the BOE-XI (R2) Premium infrastructure for reporting instead of RAS-9 that does not include redeveloping the VB-6 application into .Net...?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

You may be able to use the COM SDK with VB-6. I haven't used it directly, but there is documentation for it in the BO Dev Library (

under Viewers SDK.
