	There is a button on a windows form called Print the Report. It should show a report as a new form on the screen if I use the button. I have created a new form and added crystalviewer but I don’t have any code. I have defined the reportsource. Which code should I write in click option of the button. Thanks for your help.

	If all you need to do is open the form to show the report, you just need to .show() the new form. If you want to make the form generic so that it can show different reports or so that you can set parameters or if you need to use a DataSet from your application, here's what I do: 1. Override the constructor for the new form to add parameters for the report name or type, DataSet, and/or report parameters. 2. In the overridden constructor, set the various properties for the requested report. I have sample code for something similar to this on my website - www.geocities.com/geekgurl7/sample_code.html. Look for the BOEUserAudit application in about the middle of the page. -Dell

	The Crystal Viewer component has a print button, so you shouldn't have to specifically program one. If you're trying to compile my code, it needs the full BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK, which you probably don't have. However, you can use the code in BOEAuditRptViewer.cs as an example of how to set up your viewer form, modifying it for your own needs. The code to call the form is in the RunReport method in BOEUserAuditForm.cs. Basically, you have to create the viewer form and then .Show() it. -Dell
