Well to be honest with you, there isn't any interface that I know of that will interact with Crystal reports unless you have the development environment to do with, and normally that is in Visual Studio or other .NET application which Access doesn't support.

The only way that I would even begin to do such a thing, and in the MS Access world it is considered taboo, at best, is to use the SENDKEYS command to interact with Crystal reports itself. But the major problem with that is that you don't have any control over the application since you're simply relying on the fact that the program is the same version that you develop it for, and as long as the command buttons that you're using aren't changed by an update or new release of the program.

I even checked on the Crystal Reports Website and they don't have anything on being able to do what you're speaking of. There is an option for COM add-in, but that is way beyond the scope of this forum.

Hope that helps,

Joe P.

I have a problem with a C++ DCOM application that prints Crystal Reports with data from Oracle. The SQL query is relatively complex but when the report is printed from the Crystal Reports designer it shows up very fast. When the report is printed from my application it takes about ten times as long to get the report to appear. When printing straight from the Crystal Reports

Hi, I have an MS-Access 2000 application that is connected to a MS-SQL Server 2000 backend by linking tables through a DSN-Less connection. No problems at all with that part. This application executes various Crystal Reports that have their own built in SQL. These reports have no need for the MS-Access Linked tables and can function stand-alone against MS-SQL.

I found Crystal hard work compared to Access when I used it before - has it got any better or should I look at...

We've got an old VB6 application which has 9 Crystal Reports it can print. These 9 reports are considered by our users to be in essence one "report", in the sense that they are all related and they cannot make their business plans without all 9 reports. However, they really are 9 separate reports, 7 of which have sub-reports in them. One of my colleagues has been working on converting them from the VB6 app, to .RPT files which can be...

Hello, I am developing a VB.NET 2003 application that will use lots of Crystal Reports. Sometimes the users will preview a report in a Crystal report viewer, and sometimes they will send the report directly to the printer bypassing the Crystal report viewer altogether. When sending the job directly to the printer I use the PrintToPrinter command CR.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
