Crystal Reports

Does anybody have an Example of a crystal report opened by a vbscript within a Qv document?

I cannot find any example of a vbscript that can open a crystal report.

Thanks

Chris

IMHO this is rather a question for Crystal reports and it's API/COM and how to access it with VBScript/JScript than a question for QlikView. If there is possibility you should find them in Crystal reports documentation. Have you already looked ther resp googled after "Crystel reports, API, COM" ore something like that?

Just add a button and on the action tab select External and Launch. You can then browse for the rpt file.

Joachim,

I've already googled for hours looking for any working example with Vbscript. All I found is examples for VB6 or VS 2005 or 2008.

What I really want to do is: I want to be able to click on a field on a table box. This would open a crystal report showing the record of the field that is selected.

The other thing that would work for me also is: when I click on the field, I would show in anice way, another Qlikview sheet with all the fields of the record selected. I don't know if it is possible and I could not find any example either.

Thanks for response

I assume you have installed Crystal reports, and the extension *.rpt is registered for the Crystal reports exe.
