I just installed Crystal Reports 6.0. The manual reads as follows:

Obtaining a Recordset from the Runtime Data Source

Once you have created the Data Definition File and designed a report
based on that file, you can begin programming your application to obtain
a Recordset or Resultset object from a runtime data source. This data
source can be opened through DAO, RDO, ADO, or the Visual Basic Data
Control. The following tutorial briefly demonstrates how you can obtain
a simple ADO Recordset object.

1) Declare an instance of the ADO Recordset object in your Visual Basic
application. This can be handled in the declarations section of a form
or module.

Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

2) Obtain a set of records from an ODBC data source.

rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Customer", "DSN=Xtreme sample data;",
adOpenKeyset

--This is what I'd like to do, but when I do Step 1 (above), I get this
error message:

"User-Defined Type Not Defined"

Somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong....
Thanks

Project->References->then select Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.0 Library

Dim rs as adodb.recordset

also I noted that you forget to set the recordset:

Set rs = new adodb.recordset

Good luck!
