Hey folks,

I have an issue with the Crystal Reports viewer in VB .net .

I have a report created in Crystal Reports 10. When this report is printed from the Crystal Reports Designer, the graphic quality is great. When this report is printed through a program I have written, using the crystal reports viewer. The graphic quality is severly reduced.

The graphics in my report are OLE, linked, BMPs.

Anyone experience this problem and have a fix for it? Is there another way to print a report from within a VB .net application?

Thanks

After some research I have solved my own problem.

My guess is that the Report Viewer converts the graphics into the viewable 72 dpi format before printing.

This can be avoided by not using the Report Viewer   .

Create a Report Object and then use the PrintToPrinter to print directly. This prints the report with the original graphic resolution.
