Crystal Problem

[drrott1]

I posted this in another forum, I wasn't sure of the correct one.



I wrote a program that needs to print out sheets in Crystal Reports. Right now it reads a text file with streamreader and writes the information to a CSV File. I then created a CR sheet and it reads the file perfectly and prints the reports. I try to deploy the program and it installs without a problem. It reads the file that it needs to and creates the CSV. It does not however load the CR, it trys to connect to a server. I think that I am not setting up the data connection correctly. I need the report to load the information from a directory on the current machine. Is this possible? Does anyone have any ideas of a better way to do it?


Thanks,

You can load/read that info through vb.net and later pass/proceeed value/s in CR ... at least that's what i would do (pass values to the text objects within CR file) .... Cheers

Can you recommend some methods to do this? I have a basic understanding of .net but I do not know which methods I would need or use. I can look up the specifics on msdn.
