Crystal Reports

[Novatronics]

Has anyone integrated Crystal Reports into their LabView Programs?  I am have troubles figuring out how to link to Crystal Reports V8.0 (http://www.businessobjects.com/).

What I have done is created a report in Crystal Reports that references my dataBases and now in LabView I need to open this report for viewing and printing only.  Does anyone have an example of this?

Thanks,

Paul

I don't have Crystal Reports so I've never tried it but there's a shipping example called Report Generation Example that uses ActiveX to create and then view a report. Adding a print function should just be a matter of finding the property/method that does it.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.  I had search the NI web sight and the Report Examples for Crystal Reports but I did not look under the activeX examples.  Now I just need to get NI's example to work (next challenge).  Something is wrong with the property node ReportSource so I will look into this property.

Thanks,

Paul

I am trying to use the Crystal Reports Example found in LV 7, but the arrows are broken when opening with labview 8.5 and it seems quite difficult to link all the methods and propetries correctly (within all the choices offered by the Activex existing classes in LabView).

Has someone an example on how to  make the automation work for the report generation from Labview 8.5 to Crystal reports 2008? 

thanks & regards
