Using CR Web Reporting from within ActiveX Control

[emcveigh]

Is it possible to call a report hosted by the web component from an ActiveX Control? I have created a control that I need to display a report in. I don't really want to have to use the RDC since I am also making the report available through web reporting. Is it possible to direct the viewer to a URL?

Thanks in advance!

Emma: Don't think you can do this but if you're using v8 then have a look at the Hyperlink property of a formula field - this would enable you to link to a different report which could be web based David C. Monks

David,

Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out this morning. See code below:

Option Explicit

----------------------------------

Private Sub Command1_Click()

CRViewer1.Visible = True
Check1.Visible = True

Dim webBroker, webSource
Set webBroker = CreateObject("WebReportBroker.WebReportBroker&quot
Set webSource = CreateObject("WebreportSource.WebReportSource&quot
webSource.ReportSource = webBroker
webSource.URL = "

http://servername/directory/report.rpt"

webSource.Title = "Employee Profiles"
CRViewer1.ReportSource = webSource
CRViewer1.ViewReport

End Sub
