Crystal is not a bad way to do reports, but the version supplied
with VB 3.0 under Win 3.1 requires a lot of free resources in order to
run errorless.
Reports under Access require you execute the Access program from
within VB via Execute ( something like that or SHELL ). If you do not
have the Access runtime ($300-400 extra) then your client must have the
Access interactive program. Neither is a clean solution!
Or you can use the VB Print commands and go crazy with field
position calculations !
Good Luck either way
