Vb app can not connect and print report in Crys Rep 8.5

[denko]

I had an Application that ran, previewed and printed report from VB.
Now i'm upgrading to version 8.5 and I can not find half of the properties that
were given with Crystal report component such as Action or all properties that were
used for Print Preview.
Is there a way to run and preview report without using CRViewer? If not what code do i use to run report?
Thank you

Go into your VB project and remove the old CRViewer control. Make sure you also remove the refrence to the viewer from your project. Then Choose 'Add Crystal Reports 8.5' off the project menu. Then choose existing report and browse for the report file. The wizard will ask wheter you want to add a form containing the viewer control, Say YES and whether to make this form the startup object, Say NO. The report will be added to your project and a form will be added that will automatically preview the report in it's form load event. All you have to do is show that form from the button click or whatever event is calling the report now. Ruairi
