VB6 Report Preview/Print

[BlindPete]

Hello,

I apologize for the likely obvious answer to this question but after a day of sturggling with it, I have no other ideas.

VB6, CR10, and ODBC Data

I can not use the designer to embed the reports in the application because the reports will change and be added to over time. We dont want to recompile each time a new report is available.

The reports are built referencing an ODBC database and do not save the data with the report becauase the data is dynamic.

What I have is a preview form with the CrystalActiveXReportViewer. What I want to do is programatically set the RPT file. (The RPT file is selected in another form from a list and passed to the Preview form)

I'm at a total loss on how do this. All the examples I have found involove using the designer which is not an option.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Here's one of the sample apps that opens a report from a path instead of using a .dsr:

hmm its CR9 but presumable the solution is very similar. Thanks for the nudge.

When I ran the CR 10 evaluation copy, I don't remember there being any glaring differences in the CRAXDRT object model between versions 9 and 10.
