Need AutoIt to Interface with Crystal Reports v10�..

[Freedom1]

Im newly introduced to AutoIt and I have found it extremely flexible for my needs. I used to use WinBatch. Now I want to stretch it by being able to run Crystal Reports v10 (Changing parameters, database locations, etc.) from AutoIt.

I searched the forums and found an old (2005) beta of some code to process a Crystal Report. That was developed for a version prior to v10. I was unable to get it to work.

Does anyone have an update for that script or can someone provide a method to run Crystal Reports from AutoIt? Can it be done? Examples welcome!!!

I don't have CR 10 but 8.5 so I can test it.

But the principles should be the same, as in the example you found in the Example scripts.

Sorry for not being able to help here;

Ptrex,

It was my fault for not using the fix for CR10 correctly. I misread the way it was supposed to be changed.

$CRViewer1 = ObjCreate("Crviewer.Crviewer") <----Orig

$CRViewer1 = ObjCreate("Crviewer.xxxxxxx") <----To be changed.

$CRViewer1 = ObjCreate("Crviewer.CrystalReports10.ActiveXReportViewer.1") <----What I changed it to...didn't work

Should be:

$CRViewer1 = ObjCreate("CrystalReports10.ActiveXReportViewer.1") <----Works fine.

Now I just have to find out how to pass parameters and database locations to it. If you have any knowledge or examples, I'd appreciate them.

Thanks,

Freedom1
