first of all there is no crystal report control available with crystal report 11 library. you have to use the new one crystal report viewer to fire up your reports from your vb6 application.

to use the crystal report viewer in your project, you need to make a full installation of crystal report 11.0 software. only copying the activex component to your system directory will not do the job.

after installing the software goto project->componets and there you will found crystal report viewer control. add this to your project.

now for the coding purpose, you should know the syntax for firing a report in crystal report 11 is completely diff. than its earlier versions. as it is built to support .net framework it doesn't support previous methods/properties of the previous crstl32.ocx any more. to get some sample coding make searching in google. you will easily find some.

Hi DragonHeart,

While Installing CR11, you need to Install with the Developer Key not the designer/liscence key..
and there is no Report Control, You have a Report Viewer here.
You need to add a CRViewer Control on the form, Prepare a report and View it..

Dim CrApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Dim MRpt As New CRAXDDRT.Report                       CrApp.OpenReport("C:\MyReport.rpt")               CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ReportSource = MRpt            CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ViewReport
