If crystal report is installed, then u can find the Crystal Report Viewer OCX control in VB IDE in the components. Add the crystal report control to your form and configure it to show the required report.

'use whatever is the path of your report
'i have assumes that the rpt file is
'in the application path itself
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\studentregister.rpt"
CrystalReport1.Action = 1

Many other properties are also available for the control like to enable print button, to export the report, navigation of pages etc.

Hope this solves ur problem

CRViewer can also be used, but the coding will be slightly different

Add the Crystal App references and CrViewer component in References and Components respectively.

'Declare these variable globally in the form module
Dim crxApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Dim crxReport As New CRAXDDRT.Report
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub cmdShowReport_Click()

 'Set the report object
 Set crxReport = crApp.OpenReport (App.path & "\studentregister.rpt")

 'Enables the Viewer's Navigation Controls
 CRViewer.EnableNavigationControls = True

 'Disable Group Tree
 CRViewer.DisplayGroupTree = False

 'Enable export button
 CRViewer.EnableExportButton = True

 'Disables the CRViewer's Search control
 CRViewer.EnableSearchControl = True

 'Set the report source
 CRViewer.ReportSource = crxReport

 'View the report
 CRViewer.ViewReport

End Sub

Hope this helps u.

Hi!
Just change the variable name please, i typed it wrong as crApp instead of crxApp.

Dim crxApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Dim crxReport As New CRAXDDRT.Application

Set crxReport = <strong>crxApp</strong>.OpenReport(App.Path & "\studentregister1.rpt")
( here i got error message " Variable not defined ) ( crapp )

CRViewer.EnableNavigationControls = True
CRViewer.DisplayGroupTree = False
CRViewer.EnableExportButton = True
CRViewer.EnableSearchControl = True
CRViewer.ReportSource = crxReport
CRViewer.ViewReport
