I am writing and application in VB 6 on NT 4.0 using Crystal Reports 8.5.  I
created a simple test report called Managers.rpt.  I want to open it from
within the application when the user presses a command button.

1) Which libraries do I need to reference in the project?
2) How do I create an instance of the report object
3) what properties do I set and methods do I run?

Thanks,

Ned

Take a look at this Getting Started Guide, from Crystal Support:

RDC is the preferable method to use CR now, since it's pratically the only
method remained in CR 9.
