VB6.0 with CR 8.5 Pro

[pgmr]

Is it possible to launch a CR 8.5 report(SQL 7.0,via ODBC) using VB, so a user without CR can run it?

Sure. You may also want to check Ken Hamady's list of commercial viewers:

With the Professional Edition?

If you want to write the RDC code yourself, you need Develioper.

Some of the viewers listed on Ken's site can be invoked via a RUN command (passing the report file name as an argument).
In that case, you won't need Developer because the RunTime handling of the Crystal report is done by the Viewer.

Some of those third party viewers may also install the requried files as well. But you will not be licensed to deploy them yourself. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Can I buy the Cr ver 9.0 Developer UPGRADE edition to upgrade from 8.5 Professional, or do I need to buy the full version of 9.0 Developer.

Thanks

As far as I know, you can use the "Upgrade" pricing provided you already have ANY crystal version on your PC.

typically has good prices.
