I am pretty new to VB but have been using Crystal Reports and MS SQL for 2 years now. I am having a bit of a problem understanding your code. I was wondering if any body could help. I have a vb form with a button on it that calls the report. I copied the code that does the report call and get an error on this line: objForm.ViewReport("C:\contract.rtp", , "@prmRecId=RecId&@prmBgnDate='06/01/09'")
the error is with the objForm.ViewReport it says "ViewReport" is not a member of projectname.frmViewReport, here is the entire code

Private Sub btnContract_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnContract.Click

Dim objForm As New frmViewReport
objForm.ViewReport("C:\Develop\JawoodSql-New\CrystlRpts\contracttest.rpt", "@prmCmpny=jawood=&@prmRpt=contract&@prmPayBillId=13935")
objForm.Show()

Also, where does the long bit of code go for the Friendly, becasue no matter where I put it some of the code shows up fine and the rest of the code isgrayed out.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Excuse me. can someone send me an example from his project with his crystal reports? thnx

I am using a Crystal reports 8.5 with VB 2008 Express. I am able to view the report in my own machine. But when I install in another machine I get a Blank grey screen without any warning. I used Try catch, without use.

Am I missing any dll file .

Thanks for ur help

i have made report with frmviewreport.

after user click print dialog there will be another form.
to choose -> print-cancel-apply.

how i know the user click the button?
print/cancel/apply.

i need to know the what button user choose.
because after the document success printed the document can't be
print anymore,so after user click print i must update the database
and give a flag of the data.
