Is there anyway that I can print Crystal Reports without using ActiveX
control or Crystal Reports API?  I have a procedure in a .bas file that's
trying to print it.  I know I can use the API calls but I wanted a simpler
way.  Something like

Dim cCrystalReport as CrystalReport
set cCrystalReport = New CrystalReport

Is there any way?

THanks in advnace.

Hi, Simon.

You can use code just as you have listed in the newest version of Crystal
Reports, 6.0.  A new way to call reports is using the Automation Server.
Some example code:

'Declare the Crystal Application Object that will be used for this
application
Private CR_Application As CRPEAuto.Application
'Declare the Crystal Report object that will be used for the report
Private CR_Report As CRPEAuto.Report

Set CR_Application = CreateObject("Crystal.CRPE.Application")
Set CR_Report = CR_Application.OpenReport(App.Path & "\shell.rpt")
