VB 6 AND CRYSTAL OCX

[AEMLJA]

I am trying to open a crystal report(7.0) with charts from vb 6 using the crystal ocx. The report opens fine but the the charts do not display. The charts display fine when opened in Crystal. Any ideas why?

This is a list of the SSCHART (Graph Files for Crystal 7) DLLS.

sschart.exe
sscdlg32.dll
sscnd32.dll
sscres32.dll
sscsdk32.dll
sschart.cnt
sschart.GID

They should be included in the same runtime environment as the report you are trying to run.

Putting these DLLS in the same folder, as a report I was trying to run, solved a similar problem for me.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Alan. I tried your suggestion but it did not do the trick. Oddly enough I do not get any errors - just blank space where the chart is placed.

..then I'm clean out of ideas, sorry ;o)

Throw away the OCX - use the RDC - latest CR8.5 support and no (well fewer) memory leaks.
