Check out the RDC examples:

It may not be working because of your version of CR, at bare minimum when posting in a technical forum, state the version of the product you're using for that forum.

first use crystal reports to setup a TTX file that describes the fileds in your ado record set.

next add the crystal report designed ocx to your project, set the database to the TTX as a data definition file so that you can design your report.

then in the section of code to display the report form (Copied from Crystal Report tech support)

Dim CrAppl as Craxdrt.Application
Dim Crrep as craxdrt.report
dim Adors as adodb.recordset

adors.open "blah blah blah" for data source

set crrep = crappl.openreport "report file name.rpt"
crrep.database.tables(1).setdatasource adors,3

crviewer1.reportsource = crrep
crviewer1.viewreport




uhh...did i say that?
