VB Crystal Report, crviewer not very 'smart'

crviewer not very 'smart'

Author	Message
Frédérique Calixt #1 / 2	crviewer not very 'smart' Maybe I don't understand what you mean, but I just tried to export to Excel and it works... My crviewer.dll has the same version as yours (2.2.4.36) so I don't think it's the problem... I use CR version 7 too... I can't help you more... I don't know what's wrong, sorry... maybe, like you said, your installation was incomplete or something like that...

Malcom MacGrego #2 / 2	crviewer not very 'smart' I might be out to lunch here, but I know that Segate is effectively no longer adding new features to the OCX. They're pretty clear in steering people to CRPAUT or the Report Designer Component (CRAXDRT) if they wnat to take advantage of the new "cool" features. So, the OCX you have is in fact the current version that ships with Crystal Reports 7. The build number has changed from version 6, but I'm willing to bet that it doesn't support the export feature in the new viewers. Like Frederique, I've used the new viewer and it works for me. But I was using CRAXDRT in my project. I made the transition from the OCX to automation sometime ago, it was painful at first but I can do a lot more without having to worry about OCX limitations. Sorry I couldn't help more, but I think you're out of luck.
