Hai
I am using CR8.2 along with my vb project.
I need to do two things.
I need to save the crystal report output file to PDF at runtime.
I need to supply the filename for that PDF at the time of report generation from VB itself.

I use CR 9.2 (and I assume you also, and you made a typing mistake with 8.2). Look at the

Export and ExportProperties of CRAXDRT.Report object.

Heres my new code.

Private Sub Form_Load() Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset Dim report As CRAXDRT.report CRViewer1.DisplayBorder = False          'MAKES REPORT FILL ENTIRE FORM CRViewer1.DisplayTabs = False            'THIS REPORT DOES NOT DRILL DOWN, NOT NEEDED CRViewer1.EnableDrillDown = False        'REPORT DOES NOT SUPPORT DRILL-DOWN CRViewer1.EnableRefreshButton = False    'ADO RECORDSET WILL NOT CHANGE, NOT NEEDED rs.Open "select * from dailystmt", con, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic MsgBox (con) Set crystal1 = New CRAXDRT.Application     Set report = crystal1.OpenReport("c:\New PMS\Daily Statement.rpt")  'OPEN OUR REPORT     report.DiscardSavedData     'Report.DiscardSavedData                      'CLEARS REPORT SO WE WORK FROM RECORDSET     report.Database.SetDataSource rs             'LINK REPORT TO RECORDSET '    CRViewer1.Refresh      CRViewer1.ReportSource = report     CRViewer1.ViewReport     CRViewer1.Refresh                 'LINK VIEWER TO REPORT      '    Do While CRViewer91.IsBusy            'ZOOM METHOD DOES NOT WORK WHILE '        DoEvents                          'REPORT IS LOADING, SO WE MUST PAUSE '    Loop                                  'WHILE REPORT LOADS. ' '    rs.Close                            'ALL BELOW HERE IS CLEANUP '   Set rs = Nothing End Sub

Remove refresh method, you dont need it.

Is it true then why do we need that refresh method in CR.Then can u tell me as how to export a file to PDF i.e how to export crreport topdf

refresh is used when data from database is changed, so you want to rerfresh report to load actual data, or when you have changed some report object through code, and you want to update this change to be visible on the screen. No need to refresh CR since you have just loaded report. The error you have received is because CR was still not loaded, but you have tried to refresh it.

As for the exporting to PDF, I have exlpained you how in above posts.
