control CR print engine through VB-code

[user0001]

Hi,
I have a report in Crystal Reports which a call from a visual basic application. Is there any way I can pass the 'number of copies to print' to the Crystal Reports Viewer through code in VB 6.0?
Thanks very much

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean with integration method. I use the report designer component viewer (crystal report viewer control). I need the files craxdrt.dll and crviewer.dll. Thanks in advance.

"report designer component" is the RDC.

Use the Report.PrintOut property, the second argument is the number of copies. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

Hi,

I've tried that and it worked fine. Thank you very much!

Now another problem came up: Is it possible to pass the 'number of copies to print' separately for each page shown in the viewer?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I suppose since you can control the start page and stop page you could print only page one, setting the number of pages, and then go to page 2, etc. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
