HOW TO LAUNCH CRYSTAL REPORTS 3

[Hiccup]

I can't find the Crystal Reports Application from either my Visual Studio 6.0 or VB6 programs. Can someone tell me how to launch Crystal Reports. I thought it was a part of the Visual Studio Program.

Thanks!

Try the following URL, it will tell you where to find the install program and it has a nice tutorial if you are not familar with Crystal.

Thanks for the link, skinners. I'll check it out!

When you say you can't find it do you mean in IDE, projects, references?

 

[Hiccup]

<TysonLPrice> Yes I do.

 

[TysonLPrice]

I'm assuming you have installed Crytal Reports. I don't believe it comes with VB.

If you have...

Have you tried, IDE,project,components,designers, check crystal reports?

and

Have you tried, IDE,project,components,insertable objests, check crystal reports?

Just trying to rule things out.

I thought you might already have it. It comes with VB5 but was replaced in VB6 with the Data Report Utility.
I still use the version that came with VB5 as it is a standalone product.

<billy71> do you know if the Data Report Utility allows you to create 11X17 landscaped Reports? The DataReport in VB6 seems to be limited to a width of 15330 twips, which is approx. 10.6"

Sorry Hiccup I can't answer that. I don't use the data report utility.

Thanks anyway!
