Save the crystal report in .jpg or .bmp format from VB

How to save the report in .jpg or paint format at run time without using export option of crystal report from visual basic.

Crystal doesn't support this.

The only option I can think of would be to do a screen capture from VB and save it. I don't know how to do that in VB, though. Ken Hamady, On-site/Phone Crystal Reports Training/Consulting

If you had adobe you could print the file to a pdf file.

I have the same problem (always nice to find out you're not alone). I have 2 workarounds...

1. Start your report in preview-mode. The user can then export it to eg. PDF-format and possibly even e-mail it. Drawback is that he has to know the e-mail address.
We now work with 8.5 and this works fine.

2. Use 3th-party software. We used to work together with a company 'Kompas Automatisering' in Belgium that had a utility called 'Report Controller'. You could pass parms to this piece of software (eg. report-name, parms, orientation, copies, output-format etc.) and it would handle everything. Problem is that they have not migrated this tool to our version of CR. You can contact them in Belgium at (32)3-235.00.84. They are nice people (and I don't get any money for this referral!!).

Let me know if you find out anything else.
Good luck
