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. I want to pass parameters to a crystal report using vb.. what i exactly want is that the info the user has entered to a field will be passed to a certain portion in the crystal report.. after entering the required fields, i want to see the whole report in the next page.. how should i do this? help!|||If you do a search on this forum for 'CDO', I have posted many examples.

New Subscriptions never show

If I select "New Subscription" and I select a delivery method and time and
select OK, the screen flashes, but no subscriptions are listed. I have the
user as a Browser and Publisher, but I don't get an error. Is there
something else I have to check or setup?
BartNot sure why you are seeing this. Can you look in the subscription table
and see if subscription rows are being added?

The Server is 2000 Advanced Server connecting remotely to SQL 2000 on a
Windows 2003 Server.
It looks like an AuthZ problem, but I'm not sure how to resolve it.
Here is the log Info:

Arrgggh... After all those dark days w/o SP1 and a running eMail
subscription I'm now facing a strange problem:
* User with role "Browser" is logging in
* User subscribes to a report
* User is able to enter his eMail (RS is configured as described by Daniel
Reib in thread "Stupid question - how to setup the eMail...")
* The subscription process finishes w/o error message
* The subscription action is performed in time and correctly
-- BUT --
the subscription itself is NOT listed, neither under "My Subscriptions" nor
under the subscription pane of the given report for the user with role
"Browser"
-- BUT -- (Again)
if I login as admin I can view and edit the subscription.
I have currently no access to the logs and so no further info, why the
subscription does not appear for the subscriber itself. Nevermind, probably
one of you has an idea?

New Subscription - Report Server Email Delivery Method

When I try to create a new subscription no 'Report Server Email Delivery
Method' shows up.
'Report Server Email' does exist in RSReportServer.config and is configured
with a value for <smtpserver> and a value for <from>.
What is required for 'Report Server Email' to show up?When I set this up I had trouble using a name for the server
(servername.blah.com), I had to put in the IP address for it to work for me.
Don't know why.

New Reporting Control

Does the new report control for vs 2005 utilize SOAP or the URL method
to access the report server?
I need to utilize a pure SOAP based solution to get reports from the
report server. Just curious if the new solution is used that way or if
rolling my own is the only option.
ThanksThe new controls use soap (web services). They are a much more complete
solution that the old way.
