Hey Ken,

Since you're brand new to CR, you probably want to pick up a copy of my book b/c you'll probably have lots of questions as you keep working with reports. But it sounds like for now you just need something quick and dirty.

The part you still need to do is populate the DataSet object prior to passing it to the report. It sounds like your code is already populating the dataset, so now pass it to the report object using the SetDataSource(dataset) method. This passes the data to the report for viewing. Here is a quick summary of the steps:

1. Private myReport as ReportDocument = new ReportDocument()
2. myReport.Load(filepath)
3. Load data into myDataSet
4. myReport.SetDataSource(myDataset)
5. CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = myReport

Hmmm... it looks pretty good to me. I'm a bit confused why you are instantiating the report object as rptPTO and then using the Load() method to pull it from the server. If you are using an embedded report, then all you need to do is instantiate the report object. If you aren't using an embedded report then you can just instantiate it with the ReportDocument class. But still, I don't think that is the cause of your problem - it's just something that looks odd.

When you call SetDataSource(), pass a second parameter using the table name. That can resolved problems sometimes.
