I'm using Crystal Reports 8.5 with VS2003, without any problem (well apart from the usual Crystal problems) I dropped the Crystal Report viewer activex control onto a formview resource. I then #import "craxdrt.tlb" to get the IApplication and IReport interfaces, which I use to load the report and then pass the loaded report into the active x. Roughly CCrystalViewer m_Report; IApplicationPtr m_Application; IReportPtr m_ReportObject; HRESULT hr = m_Application.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Application)); m_ReportObject = m_Application->OpenReport(strFilename); _bstr_t bstrSQL = m_ReportObject->GetSQLQueryString(); TRACE("%s\n", (LPCTSTR)bstrSQL); m_ReportObject->put_ReportTitle(_bstr_t(strTitle)); m_Report.put_ReportSource(m_ReportObject); m_Report.ViewReport(); Michael CP Blog [^]
