Hi Krishna,

Using Crystal Reports in VB
When you have designed your report, the saved file should have an extension .rpt.
You can use this report with the Crystal Report control to display or print your report in a VB application.
Note:Check the crystal report help files for the files you need to distribute with the control. You will also
need any .rpt files that you have created You will have to add the Crystal Report control to the toolbox,
this is done by going to the Project menu and selecting Components, then looking down the list for the
control and clicking on it
To use the control add it to a form and set the following properties

a.. ReportFileName - The path and the filename of the .rpt file you have created
b.. DataFiles(0) - The path and the filename of the database that you want it to use.
If this is left blank it will use the one in the report.
c.. SelectionFormul a - The formula to select the subset of data that you want.
d.. Destination - 0 to Preview, 1 to Print
To display the report use the .printreport method i.e CrystalReport1. PrintReport

I have a transaction log file where the DataSet table's Description column is actually delimited into "subcolumns" based upon the transaction id. I would like to parse these into separate fields for reporting purposes and am wondering if anyone knows if this is easily accomplished using the .NET version of Crystal Reports? For example, the description column may be reporting on a dataentry error as follows: TXNCODE: 1010001

Hello all, I have created an ASP.NET website that uses Crystal Reports that works on the localhost (my PC), but when I copy it to the server it does not. The problem is ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = False. On my PC when exporting a report, it works - columns are varible width to fit the field, from the server it does not - I get constant width columns. I suspect it is a DLL issue, but so far all my comparisons are coming out the same.

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...
