new to crystal report

hi friends,
i'm new to crystal report. i'd like to know which method is better to make report in crystal report. i developing programes using vb. could anyone help me pls
thankx for ur helpWhat version of Crystal are you using and what version of VB? Also, what kind of data are you going to use? From a database?

If you do a search on this forum for 'CDO', I have posted many examples. I use CR 8.5 using RDC and VB 6. CDO is Crystal Reports version of a recordset. It leaves all the data gathering up to VB so that Crystal never has to touch the database. VB loads all the data into an array, then stuffs the array into a CDO rowset (similar to an ADO recordset or an RDO resultset), then VB passes the CDO rowset to Crystal to display the data.|||Hi im totally new to crystal reports as well.. im using crystal reports 9 and vb .net.
