CRWVBX.EXE
----------
This program was developed in response to a growing base of users having difficulty
getting started with the Crystal Reports VBX from Crystal Computer Services, Inc. and
Microsoft Visual Basic Professional 3.0. I purposely did not include the VBX files.
I used only the controls that came with VB, and you should already have them.
This program was a simple exercise to provide a working mini-application to demonstrate
the use of the Crystal VBX. Be forwarned! I performed minimal testing. I did add
records, edit records, and delete records. I also previewed and printed the report
using all States, and by selecting individual States. I would not consider this a
completely bug free program. I don't know of any problems, but you have been warned.
If this provides you with a starting point then I have accomplished my goal. If you
have problems running this program you may contact me at America Online. I will help
if I can, and there are other very good programmers frequenting the Visual Basic
conference that can also provide assistance about a multitude of subjects.
To use this application you must do three things.
1. Unzip this program into a test directory. You can put it anywhere. The report
file "Report1.RPT" needs to go in the same directory as your BIBLIO.MDB file.
2. Edit the .MAK file. I have installed Windows into my c:\win directory. You will
have to specify the location of the VBX files. I'm using VBAssist from Sheridan. If
you aren't using this, remove the VBALINK.DLL line, otherwise set it's path to match
the location on your system.
3. In SUB MAIN(), I have a variable called CommonDir$. This should point to your
Visual Basic directory. Specifically, the directory where the BIBLIO.MDB file resides.
Based on feedback from this release, I may also submit another project, CRWDLL, to
duplicate the functionality of this application using the Crystal print engine DLL
calls.
This program is submitted to the Public Domain by the Author. I hope it saves you
hours of work.
