Crystal Reports 8 Visual basic 6 1

[zivrap]

I am planning on using vb6 pro and cr8 pro conjointly for an app. I was wondering if any of you out there know of good sites, books, etc that deal with using the both of them together. There are plenty of sites on using cr 8 or vb6 but none(useful anyways) that deal with using both interoperably. Thanks for the help.

Do you have the technical reference that came with CR8 Developer? It covers the basics at least.

Ken Hamady has a Crystal and VB guide (

http://www.kenhamady.com/vbref.html).

I haven't seen it myself, but Ken is a Crystal master, so I'd say the $16 would be money well spent.

The Business Objects website has a wealth of information, as well as several samples for VB for each method of accessing Crystal's Print Engine:

Finally, try keyword searches within Tek-Tips. You'll likely find answers to most of your question already here. There's also a forum (forum768) specifically for integrating Crystal into applications.

Good luck...
