Using CRViewer to View Multi Reports

[vbneil54]

After making a report using the RDC, then making a report using Crystal. How can I get the same viewer to show each report depending on the report file name.

May be give an if statement where u are specifying report path with some conditions for opening separate reports

I don't think your understanding. Or I'm not explaining it right.

report1 (designed using Crystal)
report2 (designed using RDC)

currently report2 shows when I run the CRViewer.

I can't find a property to change the report. I don't want to add another form and CRViewer to view report1.

I can do it if I use the OCX and not the viewer, but there has to be a way to change the report no matter where it was created and show it using the CRViewer.

Please help.

The code to attach a report to the viewer is the same in either case:

CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
CRViewer1.ViewReport

It's what "Report" is and how it's created that's different. You probably cannot avoid having 2 separate Dim statements, one for the report made as an .RPT and one for the report that is a .DSR file inside of the VB app. And some IF ELSE to assign the right report to .ReportSource.
