I'm using this code in my form load event...

Dim crptdoc As New ReportDocument
        crptdoc.Load("path where your rpt file is")

        Dim myDS As New DataSet
        crptdoc.SetDataSource(myDS.Tables("soruce table name"))
        Dim mystr As String
        mystr = "{tablename.EmployeeID} = '" & textboxA.text & "'  and {tablename.PayrollNumber} = '" & textboxB.text & "'"

        CrystalReportViewer1.SelectionFormula = mystr
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crptdoc

Yes I tried gerchi's code and got the error when pressed the search button.I entered the code as he said in the form load.I call the form with the search button.

I think waqasas....... is right...

Id might be in Numeric value so no need of ''.

Just remove and try again...

hello !
please check this post carefully ,

mystr = "{tablename.EmployeeID} = " & val(textboxA.text) & "  and {tablename.PayrollNumber} = '" & textboxB.text &"'"
'first check you database fields data type , if your field datatype is int , bigint , decimal etc then always use val(your textbox or variable ) and if datatype is string , char , or varchar , then always use 'your textbox or variable' , now you should have these things in your mind before coding.

Hope next time your prob will be different not regarding with datatype .
if this post solve your prob and useful for you , please vote me up .
