Crystal Reports sort of

[MadCrazyNewbie]

Hey Again Group,

Sorry to be a pain but ..........

I have a Windows Forms Project with serveral reports in now.

At the moment I have 7 Forms all Called Print1, Print2, Print3 and so on.
Each form has a Crystal Report Viewer on it assigned to the perticular
report eg, Print1.rpt, Print2.rpt, and so on.

Is there a better way to do this by code, im looking at about 50 or so
reports and i think its going to get very messy if i have 50 forms all with
a crystal report viewer on.

Im thinking on the lines I have one for then in the Display Report Button
code I tell it to load Formx, and use the crystal report viewer with
reportx.rpt? Is this correct?

Any Ideas or Code?

Many Thanks
MCN

Hi Mad

I use a single form to display reports. I use a simple
select case for each report on form load event.

Kind Regards
Jorge

Just create One viewer and call it using the various reportrs and whatever
options you want. One viewer can do it all for you and all the good stuff
is publicly exposed.

Assuming that the viewew is on LoadReportPrint and it's called
CrystalReportViewer1

Dim whatever as New LoadReportPrint
Dim rpt as New Faxs.RptObjectName (ie Faxes - it will be in intellisense b/c
they're typed)
whatever.CrystalReportsViewer1.ReportSource = rpt
whatever.ShowDialog() 'Or .Show()
