    Posted: 04 Mar 2009 at 1:28am
Iam using Crystal report 8 with VB 6, Access 97.

I designed a using Seagate Crystal report and linked it to the mdb file through

Data Explorer >> Database Files >> Find Database Files.

and invoked the report from Vb as

CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "<Absolute Report Path>"
CrystalReport1.ReportTitle = "<Title>"
CrystalReport1.DataFiles(0) = "<db.mdb>"
CrystalReport1.Connect = "<connection string>"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "<Paramname; value; true>"
CrystalReport1.WindowState = crptMaximized
CrystalReport1.PrintReport

The report was displayed successfully without title

Later I took the exe, report, mdb files and some dll files
(crystal32.ocx, crpe32.dll, msvcrt20.dll, ctl3d32.dll, implode.dll etc)
to a different system which did not have Seagate crystal report, and

tried but the result is a blank report was opened and closed immidiately.

A report without database is displayed successfully but is failing with database.

Please kindly help me in this regard.


Thank You

Did you just copy the exe or did you create an install program?  You have to have the Crystal runtime engine installed anywhere you want to run reports.  I'm not sure how to do this for VB6.  With Visual Studio .NET, you include the Crystal merge modules in the install to handle the runtime.
