Start by going to

http://www.craigberntson.com/articles.htm

and read "Using Crystal Reports with VFP". While it's specifically for CR 8.0, it all applies.

I know how to create a report i want to intergrate it into a form

 

[Mike Gagnon]

A couple of suggestions:
1. Take a look at faq184-306 which applies to the older versions of Crystal (althoug it still works with Crystal 8.5)
2. I have a sample form that uses the Crystal Viewer and editor Activex controls.

Just give me your e-mail, and I'll send you the form. That is providing Crystal 8.5 is installed on your computer.

if i even put the control on a blank form and try to just run that with no data I get an ole error saying ole object may be corrupt

[lashwarj]

hi mgagnon,
could you send the sample form to me, my email is denver@hongkong.com

 

[lashwarj]

Thats shows it great but how would i make it so it was just a viewer not a designer for the users and how would i fource the report instead of making them do an open on it

 

[Mike Gagnon]

Just create a new form and just put the Crystal viewer on it.
