Does any body know how to export a report directly to Excel 8.0 file.
I'm using visual basic 6.0 and Crystal Reports 8.0.

I already don't remember V8, but in 10 and XI there is and Export button icon -- envelope - what is giving you the list of different versions of Excel
for your export

Crystal is an object to vb6
In vb6 we manage the object by its properties,methods and events
So,
if you are using ocx :

Crystal1.ReportFileName = "somerpt.rpt"
Crystal1.Destination = crptToFile
Crystal1.PrintFileType = crptExcel50
Crystal1.PrintFileName = " xxxxx.xls"
Crystal1.Action = 1

if you are using rdc

Dim MyCR as CRAXDRT.Application
Dim MyRpt as CRAXDRT.Report

MyRpt= MyCR.OpenReport( "somerpt.RPT")
MyRpt.ExportOptions.DestinationType= 1 '1=file
MyRpt.ExportOptions.FormatType= 27 '27=excel
MyRpt.ExportOptions.DiskFileName= "somexls.xls"
MyRpt.Export(False )

This is only a start, i don't have vb6 & cr8.5 installed here

Thanks for the reply guys...

Yes, i've been using ocx to export reports directly to file. But the problem is, it only supports versions excel 5.0 and below. Excel 5 has a limit of appx. 16000 rows and my report needs more than that.

Maybe I'll give rdc a try and post my comments later..

Thanks again!~

Hi everyone,

Just want to inform that the RDC works just fine!. Format type has more options than the ocx w/c is better.

Thanks!~
