Dim mApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Dim mRep As CRAXDDRT.Report

Set mRep = mApp.OpenReport FileName, 1     'Open a Report

I want to know that if i distribute my program which use the above coding, do i need to install the Crystal Reports software in the computer?

Thanks.

You need to install crystal reports runtime files, otherway CR wont work. For instance, if you want to create CRAXDDRT.Application object, you need to distribute CRAXDDRT.dll, and a few others along with it (not just that one).

This means that i need to include the supporting DLLs to the setup package and it is sufficient to make the EXE program runs. Otherwise, is there a Crystal Reports runtime file that can be downloaded and install independently like the VB runtime file?

Thank you very much.

You can download merge modules for your version of CR from their site.

The merge modules are for Crystal Reports 9 and above. Is the version 9 compatible with version 8.5?

Not sure, you will have to check on their site.
