hi all,
I have a vb application that was designed with crystal report few years ago.
The application works fine, but i want to add some modification to it. So i
brought this application to my PC (windows 2000 and VB6 - Also i have VB.NET
2003) when i try to open the project with my VB6 i get all kind of file
could not be loaded errors. When i proceed it finally opens the project but
all of my forms in the project explorer window look funny (small form icon
followed by a bigger form icon and greyed out) but when i double click the
form it opens it anyway. When i compile the program i get this error for
example:
rptCount.ReportFileName = App.PATH & "\count.rpt" 'the compiler highlight
ReportFileName and it doesn't recognize it

questions:
1-Do I have to install CR on my system in order for VB6 to recognize the
report features (i.e rtp.Action=1 my program doesn't know what it is)?
2-i checked off all CR refrences but they didn't help me. Is there a special
OCX i need to enable for Crystal Report within VB6?
3-The changes that has to be done to the program are sooo easy but getting
the project to compile is a pain in the neck. Do you think upgrading to
VB.NET is better?

does anyone know whats happening?

thanks a lot
