Crystal Report and VB

[levinll]

I'm trying to upgrade the way I call Crystal from within my VB application, so I can use the Crystal Report Viewer. However, I'm unsure which components/references I need to choose.

When I try to run my application I get an error on the following lines of code.

Public CrystalApplication As New CRAXDRT.Application
Public CrystalReport As CRAXDRT.Report

The error message is "User defined type not defined.

Did you add the references to these components in your VB project?

hth,

CUT, Visual CUT, and DataLink Viewer:
view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.

That's my problem. I'm not sure which components I need to add !

craxdrt.dll
crviewer.dll

It sounds like this is your 1st time at this. Consider purchasing Ken's guide at:

This is not my first VB application. I am currently using the Crystal Reports activeX component and I want to switch to the newer way of interfacing with Crystal.
