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.. SelectionFormula - 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
