Hello

I am using VS .NET 2005 with the built-in Crystal Reports to write a Windows Forms / VB.NET based application.

I have designed the report .RPTs using the DataSet available in the design environment. Additionally, I have also inserted some Text Objects and Unbound Fields onto the report.

1. Is there a way I can pass on values to these objects / fields at run-time, through code (no Parameter fields)?

2. Also, how do I populate the Special fields like "Report Title" etc?

Please help! Its a desperate situation for me :-(

You set it in the ReportDocument.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle, here is a basic snipet.
 
Dim rptDocument As New ReportDocument

rptDocument.Load(strReportPath)

rptDocument.SetDataSource(rptTable)

rptDocument.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = "The Reports Title"

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDocument
