Crystal Reports

Jean · Mar 27, 2005

I would like to link a command button in an Access form to a Crystal Report.
Can anyone advise if this is possible? I tried using the feature that
allows a link to either a word or excel file and used the .exe name for
Crystal but this didn't work.

Thank you

Jean

You can start Crystal with ShellExecute api:

Since the Access report generator is so much more powerful and easier to use
than Crystal, I'm wondering why you'd bother.

Interesting, thank you Arvin.

I find Crystal very easy to use and I am struggling with a comparitive
report in Access which is why I was trying this route.

I appreciate your help.
